Time to leave this town

Now your dreams have all let you down

No one here will miss you now

Time to wake up and look around

He used to be a lovely boy

Lovely boy, lovely boy

He used to be a lovely boy

Turn away and turn a head

Just a hopeless dreamer she said

Eyes of cloud and feet of lead

Find a shore that needs you instead

He used to be a lovely boy

Lovely boy, lovely boy

He used to be a lovely boy

Time on your hands

World at your feet

No adventure left incomplete

Find a place where you can hide

From the love that holds you inside

Time's so unkind

Like an old friend leaves you behind

He used to be a lovely boy

Lovely boy, lovely boy

He used to be a lovely boy

Time on your hands
