Poor Little Boy

Around the bend on the other side of the town
A manky place that's never been known
Oh, poor little boy
Is sitting there alone

Night to night, hoping to see at least a little light
Trying so hard not to weep
Then, poor little boy
Cries himself to sleep

And when he dreams
Oh, when he dreams, all his world starts shining
They share a meal and all the pain is dying
And later on, when the sun has gone
Then mom reads her kids to sleep
And then poor little boy wakes up alone

And when he dreams
Oh, when he dreams, all his world starts shining
Dad sparks a fire and all the cold is leaving
And later on, when the sun has gone
Then mom reads her kids to sleep
And then poor little boy wakes up alone

Was December time, when winter came
And the rooftops were getting white
Oh, poor little boy
Still got nowhere to hide

And the storm that night, knowing that he won't win that fight
Trying so hard not to weep
And then, poor little boy
Cried himself to sleep
