| 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 hed 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 | 
| Theyve got it all figure out, they dont need no help | 
| From anyone | 
| Jimmy never knew real love in his heart | 
| No feelings remain | 
| Somehow he knew hed 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 | 
| Theyre runnin out of hope, in this land of glory | 
| Theyre runnin in the night | 
| See the young boy cry, hes cryin out, all alone | 
| And the hurt inside, hes gotta face it all on his own | 
| And the church bells ring, and the lord is praised | 
| But they aint got time for jimmy, on their holy, holy days | 
| Jimmy never felt real love in his heart | 
| No feelings remain | 
| Somehow he knew hed 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 | 
| Theyre runnin out of hope, in this land of glory | 
| When the night comes down | 
| Its a cold hearted town, nothin but a battleground | 
| And theyre 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 |
