From the recording Martin's Song
Lyrics
Snow was falling down
All through the night
Mom was asleep
Crack pipe by her side
Father'd been long gone
Might as well have died
It was bitter cold
On that lonely night
Martin wandered out
Into neon lights
Hungry as could be
He began to cry
Looking up he saw
The shelter now in site
He wandered in
They fed him full that night
Snow kept falling down
As he lost his way
He could walk no more
It was getting late
He layed down to sleep
You could hear his cries
He would never wake
He was only five
He was only five
He was only five
