The Only Boy in Heaven (Live 4th June 1983 Black Lion Northampton) - Nikki Sudden

Sitting out another night

Another empty room

Wishing I was with you

But it ended all so soon.

Your laughter hits the windows

As you go strolling by

With your innocent face just hiding

Everything you feel inside.

There's no time for velvet gloves

Out on the broken road

You took me up to heaven

But you left me there alone.

Empty days - they're traced out on the walls

All the pictures, all the lies we had to tell

It's burnt into me, I must have walked this road before

Loneliness will never change a thing.

You're just like some river

That floods into my room

And the times I speak without thinking

Are the ones I regret so soon.

Maybe words that were said in jest

Are the ones I most want to disown

You took me up to heaven

But you left me there alone.

Empty days - they're traced out on the walls

All the pictures, all the lies we had to tell

It's burnt into me, I must have walked this road before

Loneliness will never change a thing.

Some days my eyes still shine

The way they used to do

Some days I know exactly

What to say and what to do.

I kissed your mouth

In every single way.
