And now I’m all alone again
I don’t know where this path will lead me
Without a home, without a friend,
Without anyone to feed me.
And as the night draws near
All those with sense they tend to stay away from here.

I often walk alone at night
While everybody else is sleeping
I think of my past, and then I miss
The comp’ny which I had been keeping.
The city went to bed
And slammed its doors before my head.

On my own
Pretending I’ve a home
All alone
I walk the streets till morning
Without help
I keep my wits about me
For I am lost, and no one has yet found me.

The rainwater on the pavement tastes like lead
And the lights are misty in the Seine.
Through the thick’ning trees escapes no starlight
As the night rolls on in a bitter fall of rain.

And I know, if only in my mind
That a better life will come someday
And although the people here are blind
Still I think, there’s a way for me.

Please, love me,
For when the night is over
I’m still there, asleep before the river.
While the world around me stead’ly changes
Trees may grow bare, but everywhere.
To me, most people are still strangers,

Please love me
For every day I’m learning
That all my hopes are only but pretending
Without me your worlds would go on turning
Your worlds, so full of happiness that I, too once have known.

Please love me.

Please love me.

Please love me.

For I am so alone.
