lyrics

Are you Louie?
All the faces and façades in the city
The people in my dreams
All the pricey promenades in the city
Along the pretty streams
Man asking ‘are you Louie’ and It hit me
I didn’t wanna lie
I ain’t his friend but I don’t ever
Wanna see him cry
And his smile was so sincere, so I said ‘yes I am, hello
So glad to meet you here, I’m your friend from long ago’

But I don’t live here
I don’t belong here

I remember all the streets that I walked
Entered them through a gate
Looking for some shade in the park
Street sounds don’t penetrate
And his smile was so sincere, so I said ‘yes I am, hello
So glad to meet you here, I’m your friend from long ago’

But I don’t live here
I don’t belong here

Cold weather, cool people, kind strangers

I remember all the cities I stayed in
And where I liked it most
I’m certain no one’s ever called me Louie
Or took me for a ghost

These streets aren’t mine and I don’t look like you
These thoughts are mine and I know what to do

Cold weather, cool people, kind strangers
Hey man, are you Louie? Yeah, I am
