I've walked these lonely streets so long. Dark and damp alleys no longer hold any fear for me. I've been beaten and robbed. Cursed and once a man tried to run me down. I've had friends lie and cheat me.
Lovers swear their love as they lay with others.
Seen births and deaths of those I loved. Seen the world from the top and the bottom. Felt the wonder of a woman. The hate of a man. Believed there was no ending of my life.
