When The Night Comes Down - Lyrics by Foreigner


Lyrics
Jimmy got lost, in a schoolboy phase

You see the lines got crossed, at a young and tender age

He dropped out of school, and the new crowd he'd meet

He left his broken home, for a new life, out on the street


See the young boys laugh, gettin' high on a midnight run

They've got it all figure out, they don't need no help
from anyone


Jimmy never knew real love in his heart

No feelings remain

Somehow he knew he'd never be a part

So alone with his pain


When the night comes down

Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories

When the night comes down

They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory

They're runnin' in the night


See the young boy cry, he's cryin' out, all alone

And the hurt inside, he's gotta face it all on his own

And the church bells ring, and the lord is praised

But they ain't got time for Jimmy, on their holy, holy days


Jimmy never felt real love in his heart

No feelings remain

Somehow he knew he'd never be a part

So alone with his pain


When the night comes down

Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories

When the night comes down

They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory

When the night comes down

Its a cold hearted town, nothin' but a battleground

And they're runnin' out of hope, ooh, when the night
comes down

On this battleground

So many, so many sad, sad stories

You can see it every night

When the night comes down

See the young boy cry
