Lyrics:

Don't know how it happened
Wasn't what I planned
To wind up with the losers
Down in Shadowland
5th and Main and a Cold Spring rain
Tears you to the bone
That's how it is, that's how you live
When a street becomes your home

Say goodbye to the child inside
He's fading out of sight
Say a prayer for the ones who care
For the children of the night

The days got 'no's, I get through those
The nights are something else
Tender wine can cloud your mind
But nothing really helps
Don't know how it happened
Wasn't what I dreamed
To end up here so young and used
Ooh, on seventeen

Say goodbye to the child inside
He's fading out of sight
Say a prayer for the ones who care
For the children of the night

Say goodbye to the child inside
He's fading out of sight
Say a prayer for the ones who care
For the children of the night
Wave goodbye to the child inside
Your future was so bright
Say a prayer and someone's there
For the children of the night

Yeah ah
Yeah ah
