Always A Boy

being a young boy
 you think you understand
 heading for the open spaces
 ending up at the back of the line again
 this is how your head makes you move
 can you feel it now
 try to understand the past
 so unprepared for this
 you can see it now
 when you're out there on you own
 needing nothing or no one
 chequered little greens
 fade into the horizon
 on such a clear day
 you can see all the way
 as it grows and ends when you dive in
 to the cold one final time
 can you feel it now
 try to understand the past
 so unprepared for this
 you can see it now
 when you're out there on you own
 needing nothing or no one
 you need no one still when you're old
 solitude is all
 so stay right here - tonight
 can you feel it now
 try to understand the past
 so unprepared for this
 you can see it now
 when you're out there on you own
 needing nothing or no one
