Lyrics
THE WIND IS BLOWING OUTSIDE IT?S SO COLD
I BRUSH THE SNOW OUT OF MY EYES
MY DAY IS OVER AND I?M GOING HOME
THEN A SHAPE COMES OUT OF THE TWILIGHT
I?M SO STARTLED BY WHAT I DON?T? KNOW
OH THANK GOD IT JUST SOME HELPLESS HOMELESS SOUL
I DROP A DOLLAR INTO THE HAND OF THE BUM
LOOK OUT IT?S JESUS
COMING TO SAVE THE DAY
I DROP A DOLLAR INTO HIS DIRTY HAND AND RUN
LOOK OUT IT?S JESUS
OH WAIT I BLINK MY EYES
IT?S JUST AN OLD MAN AFTER ALL
HIS FACE IS GREEN HIS EYES ARE RED TODAY
AS MUCH AS ANY CHRISTMAS I HAVE KNOWN
I?M COLD AND HUNGRY AND I WISH I COULD GO HOME
IF THIS CRAZY MAN WOULD LEAVE ME ALONE
I DROP A DOLLAR INTO THE HAND OF THE BUM
LOOK OUT IT?S JESUS
COMING TO SAVE THE DAY
I DROP A DOLLAR INTO HIS DIRTY HAND AND RUN
LOOK OUT IT?S JESUS
I TELL MY SELF THERE?S ONLY SO MUCH I CAN DO
IT?S NOT MY PROBLEM ANYWAY
AND AT HOME I?LL SOON BE EATING SO FINE
WRAPPED UP IN MY FAMILY
AND AS HE STARES I SWEAR IT?S HIS LIFE NOT MINE
IF JUST HIS EYES WOULD LET ME BE
I DROP A DOLLAR INTO THE HAND OF THE BUM
LOOK OUT IT?S JESUS
COMING TO SAVE THE DAY
I DROP A DOLLAR INTO HIS DIRTY HAND AND RUN
LOOK OUT IT?S JESUS
