[Verse 1]
On the Gpark bench I slept on, raindrops are fallin' on
The Amnewspapers coverin' Dme
I hear Cearly mornin' Gmotors
And I Cknow the world is Amwakin' for the Ddawn
But my Cmind's down a dark alley
Somewhere where last night you Gloved meEm  
And in the Cearly morning Gchill, my Carms remember Gstill
But I'm Cdroppin' like a Gstone, Dlonesome to the Gbone
[Chorus]
The Csun is roughly risin', on the Groofs of Stagger EmTown
The Ctime for sweatin' poison out, is Djust now comin' Ground
That Chigh flyin' Amlast night, is Gover with and Cgone
GLeavin' me, Dlonesome to the Gbone

[Verse 2]
I Gwalked the way the wind blows, but any way the wind goes
AmBe good enough for Dme
My Cmind is like that Gtraffic jam
And I Cwalk between the Amcars, lost and aDlone
Your Chot breath and your laughter
Keep flashin' through my mind to Gwarm meEm  
But the Cnaked light of Gday, soon Cmakes it fade aGway
And I'm Cgoin' down aGlone, Dlonesome to the Gbone
[Chorus]
The Csun is roughly risin', on the Groofs of Stagger EmTown
The Ctime for sweatin' poison out, is Djust now comin' Ground
That Chigh flyin' last night, is Gover with and Cgone
