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, yeah And with the new crowd he'd meet He left his broken home For a new life, out on the street See the young boys laugh They gettin' high on a midnight run They got it all figure 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, 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, oh It's a cold-hearted town (when the night comes down) Nothing but a battleground, yeah-yeah And they're runnin' out of hope in this land of glory (When the night comes down) oh, 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 Oh, you can see it every night Mmm, when the night comes down See the young boy cry
