Lyrics:

clumsy steps and eager eyes
tin soldiers fall
who are we to criticise
our brother natures call

forgive the boy
lifes a lonely ride
forgive the boy
lifes a lovely ride

cigarettes and mock-shy smiles
tomorrows everywhere
he looks down at his shoes and lies
but I dont really care

forgive the boy
lifes a lonely ride
forgive the boy
lifes a lovely ride

fill his head with foolish things
give him what he takes
ease his heart with warmer lies
hold him when he aches
hold him when he aches

steady hands, world-weary eyes
theres a part that he cant hide
and I would spend eternity
to keep the kid inside

forgive the boy
lifes a lonely ride
forgive the boy
lifes a lovely ride

forgive the boy
lifes a lonely ride
forgive the boy
lifes a lonely ride
