Boy - Louis Philippe

Little time is left to catch my train

So don’t talk about the things you know I can’t explain

I strike a match and light another cigarette

Hoping for the kind words I’m sure I will not get

«Go, my love, and think you’re not alone»

«I'll wait right here, in the promised land of our home»

I thought I’d lay down all the worries past

I thought a love like ours was surely meant to last

Nothing’s really happened to prove me wrong

Only days when we get tired of singing the same song

So park the car and let your best friend go

Best was good enough for you not that long ago

Boy

With so little time spare

It’s a miracle you should care

For your boy

I’m not the kind of man to walk the streets

With a picture of the loved one he’s left between the sheets

Should I need an image to remember you

You’d know the string had snapped and I’d drift away for good

On my fingers lingers your smell

To all unknown I still caress the gentle swell

Boy

With so little time to spare

It’s a miracle you should care

For your boy
