Standin' by the roadside, future in my hands
Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mist along the coast
City lights closed down
Your empty station there
Freight line cuts the ground
Freight line cuts the ground

Crystal light is shinin' bright
Shine on down for me
Moon is even passin' by, tryin' not to see
Like a fool I hit that road, did my time at sea
Life was only foolin' me

Oh despair, it burns my lungs
Find' it hard to breathe
The hospital shut their gates
I can't get me no peace
Wicked people stand and scream
Stumble in the road
Close my eyes, turn out the lights
Haven't found a dream, haven't found a dream

Crystal light is shinin' bright
Shine on down for me
Moon is even passin' by, tryin' not to see
Like a fool I hit that road, did my time at sea
Life was only foolin' me, give back to me
