When I was just a boy I'd be kicking a tin
Take the short cut home through the loony bin
I never gave much thought to the souls in there
I was just a boy, too young to care
Well, the years go by and you get to see
A dream's not the same as reality
Well, a dream or two is going to crash and burn
And that's the way that you live and learn
Well, it was late one night and I woke at two
And I lay there thinking the way you do
But it's a long dark night of the soul
When those thoughts are turning sad and old
And then outside on the empty street
I heard the sound of walking feet
Well, it was just a boy away from home
And he was singing the song 'You'll Never Walk Alone'

I was just a boy, too young to care
Well, the years go by and you get to see
A dream's not the same as reality
Well, a dream or two is going to crash and burn
And that's the way that you live and learn
Well, it was late one night and I woke at two
And I lay there thinking the way you do
But it's a long dark night of the soul
When those thoughts are turning sad and old
And then outside on the empty street

And he was singing the song 'You'll Never Walk Alone'
Take the short cut home through the loony bin

And I lay there thinking the way you do
But it's a long dark night of the soul
When those thoughts are turning sad and old
And then outside on the empty street
I heard the sound of walking feet
Well, it was just a boy away from home
And he was singing the song 'You'll Never Walk Alone'
