I went to play on St. John's Street
I was hoping that you would come and see me and we could finally meet
But you never showed up
Even though I played a whole week
Well, you must have someone
I hope that he's a nice guy
Yes, I hope that someone
Knows how to make you smile
And when you're down
He holds you when you cry
Without having a reason
Without even asking why
'Cause I know, you have sorrow in your eyes
And I know that it's been there for a long long while
And I know, but I don't mind
So do I, we're both the same kind
I saw you a few years ago
But for you, I was only a child
You probably don't remember me
But I do, you sure made me shy
It was when my feelings meant more than sex
And those were the times
Your beauty caressed my inside
Like a warm summer wind blowing on chimes
But now, I see the sorrow in your eyes
And I know that it's been there for a long long while
And I know, but I don't mind
So do I, we're both the same kind
And as I savour this bottle of wine
I'll try to forget this cruel world full of crime
And I'll sure think of you for comfort once in a while
And even if I'm not in your heart, well, you're in mine
'Cause I know, you have sorrow in your eyes
And I know that it's been there for a long long while
And I know, yeah, but I don't mind
So do I, we're both the same kind
Yes, we're both the same kind
