Mpany. so i sat down and smoked my last cigarette; she pulled out a candy bar. and we started talkin' about the hows and the whys, and we watched the first snow start to fall.

I said, hey, little girl. i know the rest of the world looks a lot better to you now. but you know, you gotta hold onto your home. 'cause home is what's gonna keep you warm. so if you gott
Someplace, run on outta this here park, and back home. now, i don't have no money to help get you there, but here: take my coat. i can't let you go cold.

I wish there was more that i could give you
Though i know it's your own life to live

[sung]
I wish there was more that i could give you
Though i know it's your own life to live
But you're so alone
And far away from home
I wish there was more that i could give
