7. SAY GOODBYE

SAY GOODBYE TO THE CHILD
WHO HAS RUN AWAY FROM HOME TO WANDER WILD
SLEEPING ROUGH, PLAYING TOUGH
SELLING TRICKS TO BUY A DREAM OF LOVE HE’S NEVER SEEN
KISS HIM GOODBYE

SAY GOODBYE TO THE KID
TORN AND TATTERED, DOESN’T MATTER WHAT HE DID
NIGHT ARE COLD, GROWING OLD
IN A CARDBOARD BED OF DAMP
HE’S A BEGGAR. CALL HIM TRAMP
KISS HIM GOODBYE

BUT BEHIND THE FACE, BEHIND THE MISERY
THERE’S A CHILD IN HIDING, JUST LIKE YOU AND ME
AFRAID HE’S NOTHING, HE’LL ASK FOR NOTHING
JUST SOME COINS TO BUY A DREAM
SELLING LOVE HE’S NEVER SEEN
KISS HIM GOODBYE

SAY GOODBYE, NOT YET A MAN
THROWING LIFE AWAY WITH EVERY EMPTY CAN
ANGEL EYES, HOOKED ON LIES
ONE MORE HERO STILL UNSUNG
NOTHING LEFT FOR ONE SO YOUNG – WHO’LL TELL HIM WHY?
HE’S THE BOY WHO RAN AWAY
WILL HE LAST ANOTHER DAY? WILL HE TRY?
SAY GOODBYE…..
