I went to play on St-John Street
I was hoping that you would come and see me
And we could finally meet
But you never showed up
Even though I played a whole week
You must have someone
I hope that he's a nice guy
Yes I hope that someone knows how to make you smile
And when you're down he holds you when you cry
Without having a reason without even asking why
Cause I know you have sorrow in your eyes
And I know that it's been there for a long long while
And I know but I don't mind so do I
We're both the same kind
I saw you a few years ago
But for you I was only a child
You probably don't remember me but I do
You sure made me shy
It was when my feelings meant more than sex
Those were the times
Your beauty caressed my inside
Like a warm summer wind blowing on chimes
But now I see the sorrow in your eyes
And I know that it's been there for a long long while
And I know but I don't mind so do I
We're both the same kind
And as I savour this bottle of wine
I'll try to forget this cruel world
Full of crime
I'll sure think of you for comfort
Once in a while
And even if I'm not in your heart
You're in mine
Cause I know you have sorrow in your eyes
And I know that it's been there for a long long while
And I know but I don't mind so do I
We're both the same kind
