Part 1.

Kenny Silvers The boy who disappeared,

Kenny Silvers The boy who disappeared

Kenny gets by on a fiddle almost every day

Chasing his childlike dream in an English town

Ambition like his street is paved in grey

Nothing made much sense anyway

Kenny Silvers The boy who disappeared,

Kenny Silvers The boy who disappeared

Kenny working the local teenage underground

Searching his pent up emotions

Getting nowhere fast

His anger saved from days of hanging around

Explodes in some dark battleground

Kenny Silvers The boy who disappeared,

Kenny Silvers The boy who disappeared

Kenny may think he's a king

But he wants a queen

Looking for real romance had it

With the backstreets

Tired of playing every game in the town

Waiting for the girl that he'd once seen

Kenny Silvers The boy who disappeared,

Kenny Silvers The boy who disappeared,

Kenny Silvers The boy who disappeared,

Kenny Silvers The boy who disappeared

Part 2.

Then one day he found her

While out cruisin' the high street

Knew this love at first sight

As they ran for the first bus

He was thinking of diamonds

While she held his hand

the rain didn't seem to matter

As they reached their promised land

Kenny Silvers,

Kenny Silvers,

Kenny Silvers,

Kenny Silvers

But his past would always find him

And he'd have to move again

Well he'd think may be just one more job

Would help to ease the pain

On the run in some cold room

As shelter from the dark

They swore some day together

They'd rip this world apart

Kenny Silvers,

Kenny Silvers,

Kenny Silvers,

Kenny Silvers

And though I never knew him

I know how he feels

And though I never knew him

I know how he feels

Kenny Silvers,

Kenny Silvers,

Kenny Silvers,

Kenny Silvers
