作曲:C. Daniels/Johnny Cash

As I walk these narrow streets

Where a million passing feet

Have throat before me

With my guitar in my hand

Suddenly I realize nobody knows me

Where yesterday the multitudes

Screamed and cried my name out for a song

Today the streets are

Empty and the crowds have all gone home

I pass a million houses

But there is no place where I belong

All I knew to give it was

Song after song after song

All the truth I try to tell you

Were as distant to you as the moon

Born 200 years too late

And 200 years too soon

I'm a child of this age

Locked inside the pages of your book

And when I am but dust and

Clay and other children stop take look

Will they marvel at the miracles

I did perform and to the heights I did inspire

Or will they tear out

The pages of the book to light a fire

With the rain on my

Face there is no place where I belong

Did you forget the

Folk singer so soon

And did you forget my song
