You leave in the morning With everything you own in a little black case Alone on the platform The wind and the rain On a sad and lonely face Mother will never understand Why you had to leave For the answer you seek Will never be found at home The love that you need Will never be found at home Pushed around and kicked around Always a lonely boy You were the one That they'd talk about around town As they put you down And as hard as they would try They'd hurt to make you cry But you'd never cry to them Just to your soul No you'd never cry to them Just to your soul You leave in the morning With everything you own in a little black case Alone on the platform The wind and the rain On a sad and lonely face
