(2006 - from the CD "The Last Songs")
five years old at the top of the stairs
when you oughta be dreaming
with your teddy bear
five years old and you're so confused
they've been screaming and shouting
is it cos of you
those who made you are breaking up
accusations they're raking up
who can you turn to now
who can you turn to now
five years old frightened open the door
mommy's running to hug you
daddy stares at the floor
back in bed "Go to sleep" mommy says
but your sweet dreams
are nightmares instead
those who made you are losing out
one who loves you is moving out
who can you turn to now
who can you turn to now
your happy home, you've lost it
the loving they forgot it
what are you gonna do
send a message by rocket
you just want them to stop it
and see how you're breaking too
little boy baby blue tell me
what's gonna happen to you
little boy baby blue boo hoo hoo
little boy baby blue tell me
what's gonna happen to you
she hugs and kisses, he buys you toys
divided loyalties no one enjoys
push-a-me pull-you, Push-a-me pull-you
five years old frightened waving goodbye
mmm yes big boys cry
five years old and you're so confused
they've been screaming and shouting
is it cos of you
those who made you are losing out
one who loves you is moving out
who can you turn to now
who can you turn to now
your happy home, you've lost it
the loving they forgot it
what are you gonna do
send a message by rocket
you just want them to stop it
and see how you're breaking too
little boy baby blue tell me
what's gonna happen to you
little boy baby blue boo hoo hoo
little boy baby blue tell me
what's gonna happen to you
push-a-me pull-you
push-a-me pull-you
Thank you Labi from a big sister who still has a little boy blue brother of 47. He is getting through and I will make sure that he sees your lyrics for this song (and hears it). It still hurts. On a positive,we both saw you in Maidstone some 17 years or so ago, what a wonderful wordsmith and musician you are. Again thanks for sharing. x
