What's this song about?

1
As I walk these narrow streets
2
Where a million passin feet
3
have trod before me
4
With my guitar in my hand
5
Suddenly I realize nobody knows me
6
Where yesterday the multitude
7
Screamed and cried my name out for a song
8
Today the streets are empty
9
And the crowds have all gone home
10
I pass a million houses
11
But there is no place that I belong
12
All I knew to give you
13
Was song after song after song
14
All the truths I tried to tell you
15
Were as distant to you as the moon
16
Born 200 years too late
17
And 200 years too soon
18
I'm a child of this age
19
Locked into the pages of your book
20
And when I am but dust and clay
21
And all the children stop to take a look
22
Will they marvel at the
23
miracles I did perform
24
And the heights I did aspire
25
Or will they tear out the pages of the book
26
To light a fire
27
With the rain on my face
28
There is no place that I belong
29
Did you forget this fucking singer so soon?
30
And did you forget my song?
