Lyrics

1.
There's a Young man outside the subway station
His long blue raincoat is hanging open
It looks like he misses the humor in just about everything
Train cars rumble underground
The buildings above him are filled with crowds
And he just shouts at each passer-by
But at some point he must have been somebody's beautiful baby
2.
The old man has had it from too much wine
He's slumped in a doorway after closing time
His eyes are yellow and his hair is grey
The face of a man who has no need for company
The night wind is icy. He's got nothing on his hands
A big cop is poking him to get him to stand
He doesn't move and they haul him away
But at some point he must have been somebody's beautiful baby

Chorus
Daisy, come a little closer
In no time you will be much older
'Til that day, lean upon my shoulder
We'll watch the fire and the rain outside
'Cuz tonight you're here and you're somebody's beautiful baby
Somebody's beautiful baby
Somebody's beautiful baby

3.
There's a young girl lying with her back to the ground
Her leg is twisted funny like it's upside down
Her eyes are wide open and her mouth is surprised
The face of a child who will never be older than seventeen
Young kids have gathered to see where she fell
A policeman's collected the empty shell
But they're not talking, they won't say a word
No one will tell who killed somebody's beautiful baby

Chorus
