The Misfit
by Erick Nelson

Album: Picking Up the Pieces

I've been looking at myself
Asleep upon the floor
I wish that I could run away
And never hurt no more
For I have learned too much to bear
And yet I'm hardly grown
Though free to walk just where I please
I'm walking all alone
Help me right away
Love is on my mind
Send it down to ease the rain
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine
And once I thought I had some friends
But friends can be so cruel
And I could hear them laugh at me
So I'd just play the fool
And still I laugh and string along
And play their silly game
And though I try to be like them
I hate them just the same
Help me right away
Love is on my mind
Send it down to ease the rain
In my troubled life
In my troubled life
And I have waited all my life
But love has passed me by
Other people fall in love
Why, oh why can't I?
