Songtext Someboy nobody knows Kris Kristofferson

Someboy nobody knows

Alone in a barroom a young girl is sitting

And smiling at nothing at all

And she stares now and then at the eyes of the men

In the mirror that hangs on the wall

She's waiting for someone and knowing there's no one

Who cares if she comes or she goes

Just a soul in the shadows the world never sees

She's somebody nobody knows

Chorus:

Someone no one's ever known

Crying where no one can hear

Somebody's dying alone

In a city where nobody cares

Down in the gutter an old man has fallen

Like somebody the world threw away

And the late crowd was leaving, and nobody even

Took the time to look down where he lay

The old man was crying and helplessly trying

To wipe off the stain from his clothes

Just a soul in the shadows that life left behind

He's somebody nobody knows

Chorus:

Someone no one's ever known

Crying where no one can hear

Somebody's dying alone

In a city where nobody cares
