Smalltown Boy

To your soul To your soul Cry-cry

You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face

Mother will never understand why you had to leave But the answers you seek will never be found at home The love that you need will never be found at home

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (ooh)

Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy You were the one that they'd talk about around town as they put you down And as hard as they would try, they'd hurt to make you cry But you never cried to them, just to your soul No, you never cried to them, just to your soul

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry

You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry
