Jimmy got lost, in a schoolboy phase You see the lines got crossed, at a young and tender age He dropped out of school, and the new crowd he'd meet He left his broken home, for a new life, out on the street See the young boys laugh, gettin' high on a midnight run They've got it all figure out, they don't need no help from anyone Jimmy never knew real love in his heart No feelings remain Somehow he knew he'd never be a part So alone with his pain When the night comes down Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories When the night comes down They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory They're runnin' in the night See the young boy cry, he's cryin' out, all alone And the hurt inside, he's gotta face it all on his own And the church bells ring, and the lord is praised But they ain't got time for Jimmy, on their holy, holy days Jimmy never felt real love in his heart No feelings remain Somehow he knew he'd never be a part So alone with his pain When the night comes down Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories When the night comes down They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory When the night comes down Its a cold hearted town, nothin' but a battleground And they're runnin' out of hope, ooh, when the night comes down On this battleground So many, so many sad, sad stories You can see it every night When the night comes down See the young boy cry
