STREETS OF GOLD
(Chas. Duncan)


The cold wind blows
The steps are hard
The traffic flows
Down the boulevard
And who are these
Without a place
Out on our streets
The night to face?

The daylight dims and on the breeze
Their faces young and old
They’re drifting in like falling leaves
To sleep on streets of gold

“In God we trust”
The dollar says
But when it goes bust
They’ll lay their heads
In alleyways
Where towers gleam
And yesterdays
Are just a dream

The night rolls in and there they are,
Their ragged beds unrolled
Like shadows underneath the stars
To sleep on streets of gold

This land of ours
Of thee we sing
Your eagle soars
On a broken wing
When every night
In every town,
there in plain sight
They lay them down

The day returns and on they roam
Their stories still untold
Like strangers in their family home
To sleep on streets of gold
