lirik lagu catman cohen - there was a boy
[verse 1]
there was a boy
playing on a swing
deep in love with life
loving everything
[verse 2]
and he’d speak to god
when all alone
making deals with god
’bout his dreams and hopes
[verse 3]
when the night would fall
and he’d lie in bed
listening to the tunes
playing in his head
[chorus]
and the boy made a wish
prayed to god up high
“let me write a song
makes the whole world cry
let me write a song
so tender, sad, and sweet
the kind of song
drops men to their knees.”
[hook]
nowhere near a man
he didn’t understand…
[verse 4]
that to write a song
makes the whole world cry
have to hold the hand
of a friend who dies
hear your brother curse your name
watch your mother fade away
while crooks steal your gold
suffer years being alone
[hook]
nowhere near a man
he didn’t understand…
[verse 5]
that to write a song
makes the whole world cry
have to fall in love
then be denied
meet hopeless kids
raised in cruel neglect
hear animals scream
tortured half to death
[chorus]
there was a boy
prayed to god up high
“let me write a song
makes the whole world cry
let me write a song
tender, sad, and sweet
the kind of song
drops men to their knees.”
[bridge]
if i could reach that boy
before it gets too late
warn him there are wishes
you should never make
[verse 6]
but that boy was me
and it’s far too late
wrote this song in tears
wrote this song in pain
[verse 7]
and now i’m a man
and now i understand
so torn up inside
just want to cry
[outro]
i want to cry…cry…cry
oh, god, i want to cry
i want to cry
