When I was a little boy |
|
They would say to me |
|
Don't go in the world and play |
|
It's bad company |
|
All they had was child and faith |
|
Let him grow and let him wait |
|
Just to find out what it was to be free |
|
But now I'm over twenty one |
|
Growing up I've had my fun |
|
And I know it's got to be |
|
Baby lying in a womb |
|
Are you free or in a tomb |
|
Let me in, |
|
I feel I want to cry. |
|
Oh the road is there |
|
Oh the road is there |
|
Come on back, back. |
|
Wash your hands and up to bed |
|
Mind your manners |
|
Or you're dead |
|
Mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday |
|
Put my trust in God |
|
Who is he I know not what |
|
Something mummy said to me one Sunday. |
|
Maybe love is life but life is not |
|
something I need plenty of. |
|
Oh! I wish I'd never lived a day. |
|
Now there's no one near me now |
|
Tell me what to do and how |
|
Take me let me sing my cares away. |
|
Oh! the road is there |
|
Oh that road is there |
|
Come on back, back. |
|
Wash your hands and up to bed |
|
Mind your manners |
|
Or you're dead |
|
Mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday |
|
Black is black and white is white |
|
Which to choose and which is right |
|
Guide me to a place where I'll stay. |
|
Wrap me up and keep me warm |
|
Hide myself far from the storm |
|
Sleep and love will keep my mind at rest. |
|
Only now I realise what my parents had to try. |
|
Love you all and keep you all my life. |
|
Oh that road is there |
|
Oh the road is there |
|
Come on back, back. |
