Eddi Reader - Forgive The Boy lyrics

[Eddi Reader - Forgive The Boy lyrics]

Clumsy steps and eager eyes
Tin soldiers fall who are we to criticise
Our brother nature’s call

Forgive the boy life’s a lonely ride
Forgive the boy life’s a lovely ride

Cigarettes and mock-shy smiles
Tomorrow’s everywhere
He looks down at his shoes and lies
But, I don’t really care

Forgive the boy life’s a lonely ride
Forgive the boy life’s a lovely ride

Fill his head with foolish things
Give him what he takes
Ease his heart with warmer lies
Hold him when he aches
Hold him when he aches

Steady hands, world-weary eyes
There’s a part that he can’t hide
And I would spend eternity
To keep the kid inside

Forgive the boy life’s a lonely ride
Forgive the boy life’s a lovely ride

Forgive the boy life’s a lonely ride
Forgive the boy life’s a lonely ride
