[Cm] That person's not loud.
[Bb] [Bb] [Ab]
[Bb] [Cm] Casey joins the hollow [Bb] sound of silent people
[Ab] walking down the stairway to the subway
[G] in the shadows down below, [Cm] following their footsteps
[Bb] through the neon, darkened corridors [Ab] of silent desperation,
[G] never speaking to a soul.
The [Cm] [G]
[Ab] poison air he's breathing [Eb] has the dirty smell of dying
[F] because it's never seen the sunshine.
[G] It's never felt the rain.
[Cm] But Casey minds the arrow [Bb] and ignores
the fatal echoes [Ab] of the clicking of the [G] turnstiles
and the rattle [Cm] of his chain.
[Gm] [Cm] [Bb] [Eb] [Eb]
Oh, she said, Casey, it's been so long since [Bb] I've [Cm] seen you.
[Bb] Here, she said, just a kiss to make a [Eb] body smile.
See, she said, I put on new stockings just to [Bb] please you.
[Eb] [Bb] Lord, she said, Casey, can you only [Eb] stay a while?
[Cm]
[F] [Eb] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [Ab]
[Cm] Casey leaves the underground and [Bb] stops inside the Golden
[Ab] Crown for something wet to wipe [G] away
the chill that's on his bone.
[Cm] Seeing his reflection [Bb] in the lives of all the lonely [Ab] men
who reach for anything they [G] can to [C] keep from [G] going home.
[Cm] [G]
[Ab] Standing in the corner, [Eb] Casey drinks his pint of bitter,
[F] never glancing in the mirror [G] at the people passing by.
[Cm] Then he stumbles as he's leaving,
[Bb] and he wonders if the reason [Ab] is the beer that's in his belly
[G] or the tear that's [Cm] in his eye.
[Dm] [Cm] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] Oh, she said, I suppose you seldom [Bb] think about me.
[Cm] [Bb] Now, she said, now that you've a family [Eb] of your own.
Still, she said, it's so blessed good to [Bb] feel your body.
[Cm] [Bb] Lord, she said, Casey, it's a shame [Eb] to be alone.
