When I was just a boy

The voice of an angel came to me

It said your future is there inside your cold cold heart

But I was just a boy

And a boy sees what he wants to see

And I saw nothing to share inside this cold cold heart

Somebody should have told me

That when you're born to this world

Your life starts slipping away



Come stand beside me

Come gather round me

Come stand beside me, Come gather round me

An' heat this cold cold heart

With love inside me

With arms around me

With love inside me, with arms around me

We'll heat this cold cold heart



Oh, when I became a man

The voice of a devil said to me

It said forever you'll live inside your cold cold heart

But I'm a better man

A wiser man who wants to be free

To have someone to care about this cold cold heart

Somebody should have loved me

They should have taken me on

Instead of taking away
