Joan Baez - Last, Lonely, And Wretched Lyrics
You're tired and you're coldYou long to be freeBut in this god forsaken landYou find no hopeNo familyThe many roads that you've wonderedSince the day of your birthYou've become one of the last. lonely, andWretchedYour hair is mattedYour face and hands are dirtyThe years that you toilMust number somewhere near thirtyThe deepening of a sadnessGrow finally into madnessYou are truly one of the last, lonely, andWretchedYour eyes are wild and frighteningAt the same time they are blessedAnd I wonder if god diedTurned his back or only just restedWhen you walked out on the seventh dayThrough the big gates and on your wayTo become one of the last, lonely, andWretchedFor once, you were a childYour cheeks were redYou were well fedYou laughed and played till you got tearyRan to your mother when you were wearyBut some where you were forsakenAlone, no one there to blameAnd somehow all was takenYour mind, your body, your nameForgive us our unkindnessOur desertion and our blindnessWith youThe last, lonely, and wretchedForgive us for the last, lonely and wretched
