I was a boy   When we first met   But boys become men every chance they get   I was a fool   How selfish of me   Now there’s no escape for the red handed; no reprive      I could let you in to show you all the ways I’ll never know you      I can’t walk alone   Without my big coat   There far too many here who need to slit my throat   Now I’m a man   Staring fear in the eye   And knocking at your door to no reply      I could let you in to show you all the ways I’ll never know you
