             x3

I met him outside a hostel door
He said I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours
I know you think it's shifty for a man in his fifties to be 
sleeping in a hostel dorm
But I used to be a welder by trade
Used to work by the water where the ships get made
But no shipyard will take me now
My hands are too shaky now
I've spend all my money before I get paid

And I said David, don't you think it's strange
While you were in your dark room
How the world went and changed
Looking in your eyes, I think you know
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago

            x3 
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh,...

He leans his head against the hostel wall
Said I have an ex-wife that doesn't hear me
And a kid that doesn't call
And every month I'm caught short
With my fucking child support 
And the court says that I'm reckless and irresponsible
'Cause it was never part of the plan
To be a middle aged man 
To be sat outside a hostel, shaking strangers' hands
But I've drunk away my wealth
And I'm a picture of bad health
And I'm a shadow of a shadow of a former self

And I said David, don't you think it's strange
For years you were walking
And how the world went and changed
I hear it in your voice, I think you know
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago

            x7
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh,...

(play every chord only once)
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
While you were sleeping
How the world went and changed
Looking in your eyes, I think you know
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
