When The Night Comes Down
Jimmy got lost, in a schoolboy phaseYou see the lines got crossed, at a young and tender ageHe dropped out of school, and the new crowd he'd meetHe left his broken home, for a new life, out on the street
See the young boys laugh, gettin' high on a midnight runThey've got it all figure out, they don't need no helpfrom anyone
Jimmy never knew real love in his heartNo feelings remainSomehow he knew he'd never be a partSo alone with his pain
When the night comes downOut there on the streets, so many sad, sad storiesWhen the night comes downThey're runnin' out of hope, in this land of gloryThey're runnin' in the night
See the young boy cry, he's cryin' out, all aloneAnd the hurt inside, he's gotta face it all on his ownAnd the church bells ring, and the lord is praisedBut they ain't got time for Jimmy, on their holy, holy days
Jimmy never felt real love in his heartNo feelings remainSomehow he knew he'd never be a partSo alone with his pain
When the night comes downOut there on the streets, so many sad, sad storiesWhen the night comes downThey're runnin' out of hope, in this land of gloryWhen the night comes downIts a cold hearted town, nothin' but a battlegroundAnd they're runnin' out of hope, ooh, when the nightcomes downOn this battlegroundSo many, so many sad, sad storiesYou can see it every nightWhen the night comes downSee the young boy cry
