Jimmy got lost in a schoolboy phase   You see the lines got crossed at a young and tender age   He dropped out of school and with the new crowd he'd meet   He left his broken home for a new life out on the street      See the young boys laugh   They're gettin' high on a midnight run   They've got it all figured out   They don't need no help from anyone, no, no      Jimmy never knew real love in his heart   No feelings remain   Somehow he knew he'd never be a part   So alone with his pain      When the night comes down   Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories   When the night comes down   They're runnin' out of hope in this land of glory   They're runnin' in the night   When the night comes down      See the young boy cry, he's cryin' out, all alone   And the hurt inside, he's gotta face it all on his own   And the church bells ring and the Lord is praised   But they ain't got time for Jimmy on their holy, holy days      Jimmy never felt real love in his heart   No feelings remain   Somehow he knew he'd never be a part   So alone with his pain      When the night comes down   Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories   When the night comes down   They're runnin' out of hope in this land of glory   Just runnin' in the night   When the night comes down      Oh, it's a cold hearted town   Nothin' but a battleground, yeah yeah      And they're runnin' out of hope in this land of glory   When the night comes down   When the night comes down   On this battleground, yeah   So many, so many sad, sad stories   Oh, you can see it every night   When the night comes down      See the young boy cry
