Jimmy got lost
 
 In a schoolboy phase
 
 You see the lines got crossed
 
 At a young and tender age
 
  
  He dropped out of school, yeah
 
 And with the new crowd he'd meet
 
 He left his broken home
 
 For a new life, out on the streets
  
 
 See the young boys' laugh
 
 Gettin' high on a midnight run
 
 They've got it all figured out
 
 They don't need no help from anyone, no no
  
 
 Jimmy never knew real love in his heart, no feelings remain
 
 Somehow he knew he'd 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) and when the night comes down
 
 They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory
 
 They're runnin' in the night, when the night comes down
  
 
 See the young boy cry
 
 He's cryin' out, all alone
 
 And the hurt inside
 
 He's gotta face it all on his own
  
 
 And the church bells ring
 
 Woah-oh-oh, and the lord is praised
 
 But they ain't got time for poor Jimmy
 
 On their holy, holy days
  
 
 Jimmy never felt real love in his heart, no feelings remain
 
 Somehow he knew he'd 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) and when the night comes down
 
 They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory
 
 Just running in the night, when the night comes down
 
 Woah-ooh, it's a cold hearted town
 
 When the night comes down, nothin' but a battleground, yeah-eah
 
 They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory
 
 (Ooh) (when the night comes down) when the night comes down
 
 (Ooh, when the night comes down) when the night comes down
 
 On this battleground, yeah, so many, so many sad, sad stories
 
 Woah-oh, you can see it every night, when the night comes down
  
 
 See the young boy cry
