who knows when

I turn up the radio to drown it out

with the gift of your love 
       Dm 
I look around and all I see

I can see that old man 
     Dm 
he's walking past our door 
F 
I've been told that he's rich

but he seems so poor 
C 
'cause no one comes to call on him 
        Dm 
and his phone it never rings

he wonders through his empty home 
C 
surrounded by his things

and silently I say a little prayer (yes I do)
