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
