when the night comes down

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 the new crowd he'd meet

he left his broken home

for a new life

out on the street

see the young boys laugh

gettin' high on a midnight run

they've got it all figure out

they don't need no help

from anyone

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

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

when the night comes down

its a cold hearted town

nothin' but a battleground

and they're runnin' out of hope

ooh

when the night

comes down

on this battleground

so many

so many sad

sad stories

you can see it every night

when the night comes down

see the young boy cry
