Left Behind Lyrics - Spring Awakening - Spring Awakening

You fold his hands and smooth his tie 

You gently lift his chin 

Were you really so blind 

And unkind to him? 

Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss 

To hold him once again 

Now to close his eyes 

Never open them 

A shadow passed, a shadow passed 

Yearning, yearning 

For the fool it called a home 

All things he never did are left behind 

All the things his mama wished he'd bear in mind 

And all his dad had hoped he'd know 

The talks you never had 

The Saturdays you never spent 

All the grown-up places 

You never went 

And all of the crying 

You wouldn't understand 

You just let him cry 

Make a man out of him 

A shadow passed, a shadow passed 

Yearning, yearning 

For the fool it called a home 

All things he ever wished are left behind 

All the things his mama did to make him mind 

And how his dad had hoped he'd grow 

All things he ever lived are left behind 

All the fears that ever flickered through his mind 

All the sadness that he'd come to own 

A shadow past, a shadow past 

Yearning, yearning 

For the fool it called a home 

And it whistles through the ghosts still left behind 

It whistles through the ghosts still left behind 

It whistles through the ghosts still left behind
