The Jayhawks - See Him on the Street Lyrics

He never left a trace
They only found a note
Take the past nine years
Back from where they came
People call it suicide
Why'd I see him on the street today

He kept his winter coat
It's cold outside in April

All this time away
From his wife's soft bed
Would it help to say I understand?
Why'd I see him on the street today

He left it all the same
They say this boy is yours

Take the past nine years
Back from where they came
If people call that suicide
Why'd I see him on the street today
If people call that suicide
Why'd I see him on the street
