Little Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let me go said the little boy
And it's just like me
Let me go said the little boy
And it's just like me
And they stole my future, and they stole my place
And it's just like me
But they won't tell my story, they won't show my face
And it's just like me
When every single thing in the world is broken
There's nothing left worth hanging on to
All I wanted was the tender touch
Never wanted much, but noone belived me
All I needed was a little luck
It would have meant so much, if someone belived me
All I needed was a little time
When we threw that line, well it worked out fine
All I wanted was the tender touch
Now it means so much, cause somebody needs me
Let me go said the little boy
And it's just like me
Let me go said the little boy
Hey, it's just like me
And it's bit by bit, and piece by piece
And it's just like me
I can't see no conclusion, I can't get no relief
And it's just like me
When every mothers son in the world was running
I had my spirit broken in two
All I wanted was the tender touch
Never wanted much, but noone belived me
All I needed was a little luck
It would have meant so much, if someone belived me
All I needed was a little time
When you threw that line, well it worked out fine
All I wanted was the tender touch
Now it means so much, cause somebody needs me
Let me go
And it's just like me
And it's just like me
When every single thing in the world is broken
There's nothing left worth hanging on to
All I wanted was the tender touch
Never wanted much, but noone belived me
All I needed was a little luck
It would have meant so much, if someone belived me
All I needed was a little time
When you threw that line, well it worked out fine
All I wanted was the tender touch
Now it means so much, cause somebody needs me
All I wanted was the tender touch
Never wanted much, but noone belived me
All I needed was a little luck
It would have meant so much, if someone belived me
All I needed was a little time
When you threw that line, well it worked out fine
All I wanted was the tender touch
Now it means so much, cause somebody needs me
All I wanted was the tender touch
