Please copy and paste and listen while reading and try and wait to start reading for when the lyrics kick in @ the 52 second mark, and as always thanks for looking xo .      
Lonely man on the corner Genesis : https://youtube.com/watch?v=6Zed9aNj-94      
      
        
looking out a dirty window      
my worker she’s due today      
I’m told that it’s my birthday      
a baby carriage Is kicked my way        
       
across the floor it traveled        
but inside it’s box it stayed      
no cake or happy birthday song        
it was just another day        
       
8 other children living there        
walked over and had a look      
none of which we’re old enough        
to figure, how it’s works        
       
So we played on top, of the box        
pretending it was a table,      
a broken tea-set was the game        
with a beat up doll named Mable      
       
one missing eye, no arms two legs        
dressed in a tattered dress        
one baby-shoe a baby-bottle        
stuck to her bulbous head        
       
Years go by, as they always do        
the memories come and go        
funny, the things we hang onto        
never ever letting go ...

Author's Note
This song encapsulates my feeling and dread
I feel like the lonely man, with the exception of screaming at random people of course,
( for no reason) this song came out when I was 16 the music alone always hits me where it needs to hit to keep me moving somehow ...

Song fact:
This song is about a man who spends every day on a street corner, apparently homeless or mentally disturbed, staring vacantly and shouting at random people. The lyrics speculate that maybe this guy has the right idea - "Do you love it enough to leave it, just like the lonely man there on the corner?”

Just for the record I was 6 at this time ☺️
