Just like a prisoner he don't know right from wrong. Just like a baby he sings a pleading song. And that's why so many tears must fall. Yes that's why so many tears must fall. Just like a sailor he steers away from home. He feels a tidal wave in his heart but he ain't alone. And that's why so many tears must fall. Yes that's why so many tears must fall. I'm like that prisoner I don't know right from wrong. Just like that baby I sing a pleading song. And that's why you'll never know how I feel. Yes that's why you'll never know how I feel
