He can’t look out the window
His reflection blocks the way
And he’s got no-one to talk to
But he’s nothing left to say
And he daren’t look at the sky
Because he’s scared the sun will cry
And he’s the man who cannot see tomorrow’s sunshine
He never reads the paper
Because every word’s the same
And they bring back broken memories
Of a man who had a name
And his life just drains away
But he has no need to stay
‘Cos he’s the man who cannot see tomorrow’s sunshine
When he goes out on a Thursday
That’s the only day he leaves
For his unemployment benefit
And his weekly groceries
And he will never say a word
And if he does he’s never heard
‘Cos he’s the man who cannot see tomorrow’s sunshine
And the man who once lived
Like a real human being
Is now noting his life
Never listening or seeing
He doesn’t seem to realise
That his mistakes cannot last
As he draws in his sadness
And his guilt screams from the past
His existence wastes away
And he sits and cries alone
But he’d never want to change it
Because he knows the wrong he’s done
And so he looks towards his end
With only darkness for a friend
And he’s the man who’ll never see tomorrow’s sunshine
