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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
See the young boy cry
