(M. Jones / J. Edwards / T. Thomas)



Jimmy got lost

In a schoolboy phase

You see the lines got crossed

At a young and tender age



He dropped out of school, yeah

And with the new crowd he'd meet

He left his broken home

For a new life, out on the streets



See the young boys' laugh

Gettin' high on a midnight run

They've got it all figured out

They don't need no help from anyone, no no



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) and when the night comes down

They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory

They're runnin' in the night, when the night comes down



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

Woah-oh-oh, and the lord is praised

But they ain't got time for poor 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) and when the night comes down

They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory

Just running in the night, when the night comes down

Woah-ooh, it's a cold hearted town

When the night comes down, nothin' but a battleground, yeah-eah

They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory

(Ooh) (when the night comes down) when the night comes down

(Ooh, when the night comes down) when the night comes down

On this battleground, yeah, so many, so many sad, sad stories

Woah-oh, you can see it every night, when the night comes down



See the young boy cry
