Story Behind The Song

I watched a documentary about children running away to live in the city, children looking for excitement, money, glamour only to end up sleeping rough and sometimes becoming ill and die

Song Description

a child runs away from home and friends without telling them, not saying goodbye. The child ends up living rough in a cardboard box and die's

Lyrics

CHILD

VERSE: [ONE]
YOU JUST GOT UP AND WALKED AWAY
YOU DIDN'T EVEN STOP TO HEAR ME SAY
GOOD FRIENDS ARE HARD TO FIND
WHY DON'T YOU STAY. PLEASE WON'T YOU STAY
I ONLY WISH I'D KNOWN ABOUT YOUR TROUBLED TIMES
I'D HAVE GLADLY SHARED WITH YOU ALL THAT WAS MINE


CHORUS:
JUST A CHILD WITHOUT A HOME, NOWHERE TO CALL YOUR OWN
THE STREETS YOU DREAMED WERE PAVED WITH GOLD
TURNED OUT JUST TO BE A DREAM THAT BEGGARS TOLD
AND THE FLAG THAT YOU ONCE FLEW HIGH INTO THE WIND
LIES FLOATING ON THE WATER
AND IT'S TOO LATE, TOO LATE, IT'S TOO LATE NOW CHILD
IT'S TOO LATE, TOO LATE, IT'S TOO LATE NOW CHILD


INSTRUMENTAL:



VERSE:[TWO]
SHOULD HAVE MADE THE TIME TO STOP AND AS YOU WHY
BUT I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
GOODBYES ARE HARD TO SAY, EVEN ANGELS CRY, ANGELS DO CRY
LIVING INSIDE A CARDBOARD BOX WAS NOTHING NEW
THE RAIN JUST POURED RIGHT IN AND SOAKED YOU THROUGH


CHORUS:


REFRAIN:
IT'S TOO LATE, TOO LATE, TOO LATE NOW CHILD
TOO LATE NOW CHILD
