|
There was a boy who ran away |
|
from what he didn't know |
|
And whom he wouldn't say he just had to go |
|
Something it snapped inside of him as he fled from a nameless threat |
|
Crowds of people stand aloof in Waterloo there's no sunset |
|
And when he gets to that mythic place the streets are |
|
dirty dark and deep |
|
There is no rest there is no place to lay a head to sleep |
|
There was a boy who ran away from what he didn't know |
|
And whom he wouldn't say he just had to go |
|
I went to so much trouble to banish you from my side |
|
He said that your an accident |
|
an accident about which I should forget |
|
And now that the wheel has gone around he's back where he belongs |
|
And he knows there is no hope only solace in the words of this song |
|
There was a boy who ran away from what he didn't know |
|
And whom he wouldn't say he just had to go |
