Marc Almond - The Boy Who Came Back Lyrics
He woke to the sound of the birds in the morningFelt charged with a new lease of lifeTime to break out of his present surroundingsA mother, a child and a wifeHed not said good-bye to his last thread of childhoodIt lay just beyond his front gateSo he packed just a few thingsAnd he packed in his jobAnd he prayed hed not left it too lateHe turned and he saidWell we always have time,Time on our sideAnd theres time for this boy to turn backJoy held his heartAs he took to the roadCast all his sorrowTo the breezeKnew in his heartIt was the right thing to doFor he had to search outHis beliefSpring came and fall wentThe year ran awayLove, hate and heartache ran tooFelt himself driftInto memories of homeAnd the loneliness he lived on throughHe turned and he saidWell we always have time,Time on our sideAnd theres time for this boy to turn backAnd hed learnt about lifeBut hed lost out on loveHe was no longer only a boyThere were lines on his faceFrom the sun and the windBut no lines there throughLaughter or joyShoes full of holesBut with fire in his soulHe walked down the dirt beaten trackMother was goneBut his wife and child were living onAnd they criedIts the boy who came backGoodbye through the eveningGoodbye through the nightGoodbye through the dreamsThrough the sleepGoodbye to our yesterdaysHello tomorrowIt seems we were destined to meetHe turned and he saidWell we always have time,Time on our sideAnd theres time for this boy to turn back
