Lyrics The Guess Who

The Guess Who

Shopping Bag Lady

City lights and the pretty sights beckoned you to roam

Leavin' now and you're knowin' how, you're on your own

Family and reality seem so far away

Feelin' fine and the happy times have left you to stay

Oh shopping bag lady, asleep on the snow

If you had your fortune, you'd trade it for a kind hello

Oh shopping bag lady the winter winds blow

Society has forgotten you, there's nowhere left for you to go

Through the tears, all your better years passin' by so fast

Loneliness is a part of you, and oh how it lasts

No one there, there to really care, the city seems so cold

Yesterday you were just a child, today you're so old

I would love to hold you

Nights when you're alone and the cold and dark is killin' you ever so slowly

I would love to love you

Nights when you're alone, you're alone

I know the days used to be something different for you

I know it's cold and lonely and it's misery

I wanna help you, I wanna help you, I wanna help you when you're down

I wanna look around and find a helping hand for you

Oh no it's never too late, oh no it's never too late to try and help you out

I know you're cold and it's misery

I can tell the days used to be something different for you
