Mike Heron - Residential Boy lyrics

rate me

We weren't ready for the country me and you

Just a couple of city boys

We couldn't even sing the blues

We couldn't even light a fire or find

The polestar

Give me suburban moonshine

You know I was raised on dogfights

Weaned on the streetlights

I'm a residential boy

Didn't ask to get born here

In the city I just got dumped

And I just got thumped

When I tried to run away

You didn't ask to get born here neither

But now's the time we can spread our wings

Make it out where the clear brook sings

And time can slip away, slip away

Without Love

See him out through the window

In the streets below us

Keepin' his sadness out of view

He's so lonely, he's so low

He's like I was before you

Without love, oh how low I was

And I only know now how low I was without love

Pull down the shade

You know that I was made to love you

And only now I know how bad it was

Without you in my arms

Without you in my heart

I was only playing a part

I was hardly living at all

Without love, oh how low I was

And I only know now how low I was without love
