I was rushing to my car in the parking lot,
After work one day,
When I saw a little girl, sitting by herself,
In the alleyway...
I said, "It's getting dark and it's not safe for you to be out alone,
If you're lost, tell me where you live,
And I'll help you to get back home..."
And she said...
CHORUS:
"We live here on Market Street,
During the day,
And at night we eat at the Mission Church,
And sleep in the hallway,
When mom gets a job we're gonna buy a house,
And she'll take me to see Mickey Mouse,
Oh, we're just living here for now,
Down on Market Street..."
Well as I stood there wondering what I should do,
Her mother appeared,
She took her by the hand and they walked away,
And I felt a tear...
And I never saw her on the street again,
And I really want to believe,
That it all came true,
Like she thought it would,
The day she said to me...
(CHORUS)
We're just living here for now,
Down on Market Street...
