Beggar at Your Door
When I first came as a friend with no more than help to lend
You thought everything we did was really fine
We?d spend time at rhyme and verse
Never mattered who was first
There was nothing that we could not do in time
And it seemed when we began to realize what we can
The path we?d chosen didn?t have a heart
So we struggled with our lives
Our hearts choked with pride
And in the end the battle carried us apart
Chorus
But don?t leave me like a beggar at your door
I?m so sorry that I couldn?t give you more
Don?t leave me like a beggar at your door
Cause every time I hear the train I go riding down again
Now I know you well my love, you?re the stuff dreams are made of
You know I couldn?t love you any more
But when fate will take its course
You would leave me here of course
Crying like a beggar at your door
Chorus
But don?t leave me like a beggar at your door
I?m just sorry that I couldn?t give you more
Don?t leave me like a beggar at your door
Cause every time I hear the train I go riding down again
And every time I hear the train I go riding down again
I?m down again
