Poor Boy Lyrics - Singles - Ruff Michael

Listen to the rain, like glass breaking slowly 

My heart's breaking right on time 

Listen to the water, like a thousand people kissing 

Or one person walking away 

Listen to the wind, like young lover's passion 

Or old people passing away 

In all these things I hear you 

In all these ways you call to me 

Calling me...poor boy 

It's like I know where love is 

But love never come to me 

Calling me poor boy, poor boy 

Listen to the words, speaking in melodies 

From the soul, through the voice, to the pen 

(to the paper, 

through the eyes, 

to the mind, 

to the soul again) 

In the shadow of a dancer 

In the echo of a lie 

In the patience of a teacher 

And in the movement of an eye 

In the telling of a story 

In the pouring of two lovers 

And in the softness of the moon 

In all these ways I hear you 

In all these things you call to me 

Calling me...(just a) poor boy 

Sometimes I feel like Salieri 

I'm standing at the door 

but no one ever asks me in 

Calling me.... 

Salieri 

Calling me...poor boy, poor boy 

(to the paper, 

through the eyes, 

to the mind, 

to the soul again)
