No Passenger lyrics

Walkin down an empty street in a city I don t know
Whistlin something catchy as I make my way through snow.
Ain t got no gloves so I keep my hands balled up in fists;
I m tryin not to think how it all came down to this.
I been searching for a sparrow in a city full of wrens
I been asking for the cost so I can make amends
I been waiting for the questions so my answers will make sense
I been looking for the way home but the snow is much too dense.
They said "Why are you here?" I said, "I m doin time
Cause I m willing to break laws but I won t commit no crime."
If there s more to making choices than luck and happenstance,
I hope I do it right next time I get the chance.
This city seems so cold, and it isn t just the wind.
I would be easy to say, "I m here because I sinned."
I m here because someday someone will need a ride
And I ll throw away my drink and say, "The coach awaits outside."
