Weatherbeaten Boys Songtext

von Oblivia

Could you spare the price of a cup of tea
The winter wind is blowing right through me
A simple kind word is one I have not heard
In such a long time so don't be like one of the herd

'Cause I was like you, I used to belong
But the burden of life got a little too strong
I can't really remember when it all changed
To this kind of existence that has no joy
When I became this weatherbeaten boy

A weatherbeaten boy

Trudging through life in the dust and the rain
I never like the drink, but it numbs the pain
Everything I own is what I wear
Testament to how much I don't care anymore

I sometimes believe that there is a god
But how could he exist in this empty old pod
I sometimes believe that there is true love
That there is a hope and a heaven above
Innocence and coy, god help the weatherbeaten boys

The weatherbeaten boys

The streets and the low life is are all I've seen
I cannot sleep and I cannot dream
In this overcrowded subway I call home
Every single face seems to be so alone

'Cause I could be you and you could be me
A simple twist of fate is all it could be
Stripped of the good life where you have been
Suit and your shoes, electronic toys
Into the world of the weatherbeaten boys
