The Boy Who Ran Away Lyrics - Mystery Jets

There was a boy who ran away 

from what he didn't know 

And whom he wouldn't say he just had to go 

Something it snapped inside of him as he fled from a nameless threat 

Crowds of people stand aloof in Waterloo there's no sunset 

And when he gets to that mythic place the streets are 

dirty dark and deep 

There is no rest there is no place to lay a head to sleep 

There was a boy who ran away from what he didn't know 

And whom he wouldn't say he just had to go 

I went to so much trouble to banish you from my side 

He said that your an accident 

an accident about which I should forget 

And now that the wheel has gone around he's back where he belongs 

And he knows there is no hope only solace in the words of this song 

There was a boy who ran away from what he didn't know 

And whom he wouldn't say he just had to go
