Unchanged

I have left the waters edge so many times before
To drink the wine of promises, to search for lies untold
It makes me wonder who I am, and hold my head in pain
No peace among these city streets
The song begins again... and again!

The bitter taste of love is sweet, when you feel you're all alone
I've run so far from happiness, I may never make it home
I don't believe you, I can't believe you, when you show me love
The quiet, aching desperation, still gentle as a dove

I remain unchanged
But all around me is rearranged
The world is turning and times are strange
I remain unchanged
I remain unchanged
But all around me the world is strange
There's no one else that I can blame
I remain unchanged

I'll be around
This old, sad clown
You can let me down
The one who just left town
