The unknown artist works quietly
In silent determination
Money's not the answer
To every need
Coming off the high horse
Stumbling at the gate
All the reasons are excuses
For what you leave to fate
I'm hanging on every word
Like a hungry beggar
Waiting for the crumbs to fall
If you finally call
More to come after the sunrise
The trail of tears
Is the same path where flowers grow
Where the wind blows
Through your hair
Where there's no tomorrow
Only today to be
Alone with you
And say the things
Saved in my heart
The only words I know
To get to you
Since the very start
I've known no better
Than fill the leaking bucket
Content to live as an outsider
Just pay the monthly rent
And hide my discontent
Another unknown artist
For whatever reason
Still watching and waiting
I'm hanging on every word
Like a hungry beggar
Waiting for the crumbs to fall
If you finally care at all
The unknown artist
Still alone in the dark
Still watching and waiting
Still watching and waiting
The unknown artist
Alone in the dark
