He was born on a summer day, 1991
|
And with the slap of a hand he had landed as an only son
|
His mother and father said what a lovely boy
|
We'll teach him what we learned, oh yes, just what we learned
|
We'll dress him all poorly and we'll send him to school
|
It'll teach him how to fight, he'll be nobody's fool
|
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
|
In the summer of '99 his mother brought him a sister
|
But she told him that we must attend to her needs
|
She's so much younger than you
|
Well, he ran out in the hall and he cried
|
Oh, how he was scared to die
|
When they said he was an only son
|
He thought he was the only one
|
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
|
Goodbye mother, goodbye youth
|
Goodbye father, I'm pushing on through
|
|
He left home on a winter day in 2009
|
And he hoped to find all the love he had lost in that earlier time
|
Well, his seek turned to love and she made him a man
|
She gave him a son, oh, yeah, a lovely son
|
They dressed him up poorly and they sent him to school
|
It taught him how to fight, nobody's fool
|
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
|
Oh, what a lonely boy
|
