From the recording Little Boy Blue
Lyrics
Little Boy Blue
Little boy blue,
Can you come out to play
Little boy blue
You’ve gone so far away
The sheep in the meadow
The cows in the corn
Little boy blue come blow on your horn
Little boy blue
Can you come out to play
Little boy blue
I need you today
I hear your laughter
As you chase a butterfly
I see you jumping
To catch a cloud in the sky
Silly little madeup songs
That you would sing
Your smile was a simple melody
As soft as birds on the wing
The kite string is limp now
Although the wind still blows
Wounded toy soldiers
Chilled by winter snows
The devil is time
As he drags us apart
There is no return
Only fading memories and a broken heart
