Waiting by the window
Staring at my shadow
Not believing what I’d seen
Touching but not feeling
And wondering in what I was dealing
And not knowing where I’d been

So I began walking
And to myself I was talking
But didn’t know which way to go
Then I found a direction
And now I needed some action
But I should have just said no
Should have said no

Why won’t you help me or give me hand
‘Cause I’m close to becoming a suicidal man
What I need is someone with a definite plan
For I’ve waited for just about as long as I can

Suicidal man, suicidal, suicidal
Suicidal man

So on my travels
Still with all my troubles
I found someone who cared
The answer was so easy
That all she did to please me
Was to say a problem’s smaller when it’s shared

He was a suicidal man, he was a suicidal man
He was a suicidal man, he was a suicidal man
Who was he, suicidal man, who was he, suicidal man
suicidal man, suicidal man
