Lonely Boy

歌詞

He was born on a summer day, 1951 And with a 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, ah, yes, just what we learned We'll dress him up warmly, and we'll send him to school It'll teach him how to fight, to be nobody's fool" Oh, oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy In the summer of '53, his mother brought him a sister And she told him, "We must attend to her needs She's so much younger than you" Well, he ran down the hall and he cried Oh, how could his parents have lied? When they said he was their only son He thought he was their only one Oh, oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy He left home on a winter day, 1969 And he hoped to find all the love he had lost in that earlier time Well, his sister grew up, and she married a man He gave her a son, ah, yes, a lovely son They dressed him up warmly, they sent him to school It taught him how to fight, to be nobody's fool Oh, oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy Whoa-whoa-whoa, oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy
