He Used to Be a Lovely Boy Lyrics

Time to leave this town
Now your dreams have all let you down,
No one here will miss you now,
Time to wake up and look around
He used to be a lovely boy,
Lovely boy, lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy

Turn away and turn a head,
Just a hopeless dreamer she said,
Eyes of cloud and feet of lead,
Find a shore that needs you instead
He used to be a lovely boy,
Lovely boy, lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy

Time on your hands,
World at your feet,
No adventure left incomplete

(Scatting)
Find a place where you can hide
From the love that holds you inside,
Time's so unkind,
Like an old friend leaves you behind

He used to be a lovely boy,
Lovely boy, lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy

Time on your hands...
