No Passenger lyrics

Walkin` down an empty street in a city I don`t know
Whistlin something catchy as I make my way through snow.
Ain`t got no gloves so I keep my hands balled up in fists;
I`m tryin` not to think how it all came down to this.

I been searching for a sparrow in a city full of wrens
I been asking for the cost so I can make amends
I been waiting for the questions so my answers will make sense
I been looking for the way home but the snow is much too dense.

They said `Why are you here?` I said, `I`m doin` time
Cause I`m willing to break laws but I won`t commit no crime.`
If there`s more to making choices than luck and happenstance,
I hope I do it right next time I get the chance.

This city seems so cold, and it isn`t just the wind.
I would be easy to say, `I`m here because I sinned.`
I`m here because someday someone will need a ride
And I`ll throw away my drink and say, `The coach awaits outside
