He waited so long thinking good and bad
Dismal thoughts have occupied his head
Gaunting from one corner of the room
To another one, talking to the moon
Waking up he's checking for the news
Reading empty lines again
One more excuse
And nothing from the one he loves
Nothing from the one he loves
He waited so long crying in his bed
No one knew how hard it was to look ahead
He was strong enough my boy
To fill his world with love and joy
He's getting wiser everyday
Tomorrow's better than today
The ones who took and didn't give
Were asking to forgive
Were asking to forgive
My Jimmy boy
My Jimmy boy
My Jimmy boy
