(M. Jones / J. Edwards / T. Thomas)
Jimmy got lost
In a schoolboy phase
You see the lines got crossed
At a young and tender age
He dropped out of school, yeah
And with the new crowd he'd meet
He left his broken home
For a new life, out on the streets
See the young boys' laugh
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) and 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
Woah-oh-oh, and the lord is praised
But they ain't got time for poor 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) and when the night comes down
They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory
Just running in the night, when the night comes down
Woah-ooh, it's a cold hearted town
When the night comes down, nothin' but a battleground, yeah-eah
They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory
(Ooh) (when the night comes down) when the night comes down
(Ooh, when the night comes down) when the night comes down
On this battleground, yeah, so many, so many sad, sad stories
Woah-oh, you can see it every night, when the night comes down
See the young boy cry
