Shadows cast by street lamps cold and blowing down the road
Too much wine had washed away the way their cold
The Beggar cries Lord I'm so lonely
The darkness answers back with memories
When the Beggar sees the sunshine and his woman
by his side lovely cottage by the river flowing past
The young man sings my lady I love you
the flowers' sweet new fragrance fill the air
Time passes and her beauty's even greater
Though the child's eyes reflect the joys of life
Then their home is filled with the warmth of love
While the world outside turns white with winter's snow
Then as tragedy must sometimes happen
His wife and child were summoned from his side
The young man turned and cried to heaven
The evening sky grew dark without a sound
Then the young man dies within the Beggar
As the pain of now cuts through his world of dreams
And the Beggar cries Lord I'm lonely
And the cold wind blows the dreams into the night
The cold wind blows the dreams into the night
And the cold wind blows the dreams into the night
Too much wine had washed away the way their cold
The Beggar cries Lord I'm so lonely
The darkness answers back with memories
When the Beggar sees the sunshine and his woman
by his side lovely cottage by the river flowing past
The young man sings my lady I love you
the flowers' sweet new fragrance fill the air
Time passes and her beauty's even greater
Though the child's eyes reflect the joys of life
Then their home is filled with the warmth of love
While the world outside turns white with winter's snow
Then as tragedy must sometimes happen
His wife and child were summoned from his side
The young man turned and cried to heaven
The evening sky grew dark without a sound
Then the young man dies within the Beggar
As the pain of now cuts through his world of dreams
And the Beggar cries Lord I'm lonely
And the cold wind blows the dreams into the night
The cold wind blows the dreams into the night
And the cold wind blows the dreams into the night
