Lyrics

In a third street apartment
An old phone hangs on the wall
She forgets it’s there
No one ever calls
And all her conversations
Are with the TV and herself
The neighbors say she’s crazy
and hope she gets some help

Cuz people need people
Along with their thoughts and prayers
Yea people need people
To show people they care

Below her third street apartment
He walks by collecting cans
He sees her waving out the window
With a cigarette in her hand
And there’s something in her smile
Reminds him of his own
He smiles and waves up at her
He doesn’t feel so alone

Yea people need people
Along with their thoughts and prayers
Yea people need people
To show people they care

Last night her window was empty
Not like the week before
Now movers are moving couches
He can’t help but as who for
They reply she’s at Saint Mary’s
Her headstones near the gate
Searching there he finds her
He kneels down to touch her grave

Yea people need people
Along with their thoughts and prayers
Yea people need people
To show people they care
