I feel almost as desperate as that man on the street
Who has nothing to do
And nothing to say
Apart from please get me a strawberry milkshake to drink
I've got anorexia and no money
To pay for night shelter
Not even for tonight
I too have no night shelter
Not even for tonight
So I'm down there with him holding on
To the Crucifix around his neck the words on his card
Are the song I'm also singing as I tread this bed of nails
Wondering how long before I get impaled
I use to think the darkness brought invisibility
But now the headlamps of men's eyes are blazing at me
I have night shelter in the form of bricks and stone
But tonight men will be lurking when I get home
I'm face to face in spirit with the man on the street
I said to him there's hope
He said there must be
I won't pretend I haven't been praying and neither did he
This life is enough to bring anyone down on their knees
Night shelter the gentle cloak of death
Will softly unfold us on our last breath
Have you ever seen an animal swimming for it's life
Refusing to drown while it is being dragged down
A man with cancer still posting every day
Sid James or Tommy Cooper playing to the foray
None gave in and neither must we
Night Shelter will come until then we must fight on
Living in a cardboard box shot full of holes
Immanent within it our tremulous souls
There has to be more mercy than our eyes can see
Night Shelter beyond this travesty
Dark rings around our eyes it's the pain we all must bear
Until Night Shelter softly deadens life's glare
Still the night, Holy the night
Sleeps the world, hid from sight
Mary and Joseph in stable bare
Watch o'er the child, beloved and fair
Sleeping in heavenly rest
Sleeping in heavenly rest
