Just a Boy lyrics

Writers: Leo Sayer & David Courtney

another time, love
you know I can't quite recognise your face, love
although I feel I know you from someplace, love
another time, love -- but not now

another face, love
I'm sure I know the voice, but not the face, love
I know you think I know you but then you're wrong, love
I don't know, love, who I am

y'see I'm lost...

I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes
I got up and walked away
oh, I was just a boy
nobody else to blame...

I've worked hard and failed
now all I can say is
I threw it all away
oh, I was just a boy
giving it all away...

sail away, sail away,
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
giving it all away

seen a lot of good times in my life
times when everything went so right
seen a lot of things go wrong and I just don't know why
I've seen a lot of good times m my life

had a bit of sadness in my life
friend of mine went down the other night
tried to sort it out but now I just don't know why
I've had a bit of sadness in my life

I was travellin' down the road, feelin' hungry and cold
I saw a sign sayin' food and drinks for everyone
so naturally I thought I would take me a look inside
I saw so much food, there was water comin' from my eye

yeah there was ham an' there was turkey, there was caviar
an' long tall glasses, with wine up to yar

well everybody knows down ladbrook grove
you have to leap across the street
you can lose your life under a taxi cab
you gotta have eyes in your feet

you find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
take up your guitar and play
but then the law man comes says move along
so you move along all day

well I'm a one man band

used to see him hanging around everywhere
in a world of his own
see him hanging round street corners
where we would meet
he was a lonely kid
now they tell us that he's moved on
ain't been seen for so long don't know where he's gone...

it's been so long, but I'm on the road and
though it ain't been easy
at least I made it on my own

I'm leaving the smog below me now
I'm leaving my troubles on the ground
I'm watching those smokestacks just blaze away
the sky will be blue never grey

the future is filled with wasted time
I can't see the road -- I'm going blind
I'm laughing at all of my future plans
shining like gold in my hands

isn't it funny how you reach me

you contendthat you'll never got back to her againyou're as free as a night without endso you tell your friendsjust what you had to endurewhen you told her never, never againand as the room about you starts to bendyou pretendthat you've taken the easy way outthough you know ehn you told her last nightyou were fakin' the easy way outwith one hand reachin' fo the doorbut your feet weren't movin'they

running through my life
like a river, like a song
train keeps pushing me
right back to the place where I belong...

back along the tracks
fly a million years
right across my path
train moves on ringing in my ears...

come on board
come on board

train, oh train, take me back, again
I remember, I remember, take me back

when I came home this morning
I got your letter and what it said
I didn't understand
you told me it was over -- au revoir -- see you again sometime
I didn't understand
and overleaf you tell me that you love me...

meet me on the corner
the usual time -- the usual place
I will be there
meet me on the corner
