She was crying since a long long time ago
She had the child he'll never know
She knew love until it got a little slow
And why he left she'll never know
And in a lonely tenement
???
She had no way to pay her rent
And all her money had been spent
She couldn't get a compliment
???
In a lonely tenament
A lonely tenament
In a lonely union hall
He's waiting for some work to call
Waiting for his raise to fall
Got his a** against the wall
He's giving them his all and all
They're expecting for him to crawl
In a lonely hall
A lonely tenement
Well there were times when his work came easily
When he could stand up and feel free
He even dreamed of raising a family
Something that now will never be
Well in a bar in her neighborhood
She remembers when it was good
Or was it that she understood
All her crummy neighborhood
She'd buy a round if she only could
??? drink it if she only would
In a bar in her neighborhood
A lonely neighborhood
A loney tenement
Looks at her life and wonders where did it all go
She'll never know
