Mystery Jets - Boy Who Ran Away lyrics

There was a boy a ran away From what he didn't know Whom, he wouldn't say He just had to go Something snapped inside of him As he fled from a nameless threat Crowds of people stood aloof in Waterloo There's no sunset, sunset And when he gets to this mythic place The streets are dirty, dark and deep There is no rest there There is no place to lay a head to sleep, to sleep... There was a boy who ran away From what he didn't know Whom, he wouldn't say He just had to go Went to so much trouble To banish you from my sight He said that you're an accident An accident about which I should forget, forget... And now that the wheel has gone around He's back where he belongs And he knows there is no hope Only solace in the words of this song Solace in the world of this song Solace in the world of this song... There was a boy who ran away From what he didn't know Whom, he wouldn't say He just, he had to go
