When The Night Comes Down Lyrics

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 with the new crowd he'd meet He left his broken home for a new life out on the street
See the young boys laugh They're 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 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 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 Just runnin' in the night When the night comes down
Oh, it's a cold hearted town Nothin' but a battleground, yeah yeah
And they're runnin' out of hope in this land of glory When the night comes down When the night comes down On this battleground, yeah So many, so many sad, sad stories Oh, you can see it every night When the night comes down
See the young boy cry
