Horslips Sure The Boy Was Green Lyrics

Sure the boy was green his heart was on the line
Seventeen and lonely and biding his time
Sure the boy was green his heart was on the line
Seventeen and lonely and biding his time
He was only a mad moonlighter, dancing by the sea
Envying nobody chasing shadows crazy and free
You were the cloud that covered the moon now he just can't see

Now he's just a kid with a runaway heart
Jumping ship to anywhere, trying to make a fresh start
Running away from everything playing a lonely bit part Look at all those fresh young kids, they think they know it all
Look at thе little crazy guy, swaggering down the hall
Hе could dance his way to freedom if you don't make him fall
Now you got him all to yourself what you gonna do?
You're the one who set the trap you know it's up to you
Call the shots, open the cage, you know he won't run through

Torch-bearing lady see this kid, he's in love with you
Dream-selling lady he's in need, you'd better come through
