Little Boy Blue


Little boy blue

Don’t you have something better to do?

Wandering around,

Playing a fool

Looking for something

But you haven’t a clue.

 

Little boy blue

Your mother is looking for you

Your father is too

You haven’t been home in a month

I think they miss you.

 

Little boy blue

Eyes filled with tears and sleep

Maybe if you look elsewhere

That thing you are looking for

Might be right in front of you.
