Lyrics

[00:12.71] When I was just a boy I'd be kicking a tin
[00:17.90] Take the short cut home through the loony bin
[00:23.76] I never gave much thought to the souls in there
[00:29.52] I was just a boy, too young to care
[00:38.01] Well the years go by and you get to see
[00:43.78] A dream's not the same as reality
[00:49.45] Well a dream or two is going to crash and burn
[00:55.26] And that's the way that you live and learn
[01:29.39] Well it was late one night and I woke at two
[01:35.74] And I lay there thinking the way you do
[01:41.04] But it's a long dark night of the soul
[01:47.33] When those thoughts are turning sad and old
[01:52.58] And then outside on the empty street
[01:58.10] I heard the sound of walking feet
[02:03.41] Well it was just a boy away from home
[02:09.85] And he was singing the song 'You'll Never Walk Alone'
