lyrics

and the boy sat under the stairs
—-
I was the kid with the yellow teeth,
And the lost gaze,
From the bleared eyes,
I was the boy with a frightened soul,
Looking always up to the stars,
For the love I knew that was out there,
For the one,
You know I never gave up.

Because I believe in love,
Because I believe in you,
Because I believe in hope,
Yes I do.

And the boy sat still under the stairs,
By a torchlight moon, in silence.
If he wished it so hard, he could disappear,
Into nothing at all.

You see I believed in love,
You see I believed in you,
You see I believed in hope,
And I still do...
