The Boy From The City
By Joe Oconnell
The boy from the city jumped from the high bridge
into the waters that bled from the mountains
past where the sad girl drinks her cheap wine
The girl from the forest and the boy from city
were loving way harder than they could control
They didn't know that some love can wound you
deep in the places the poets call soul
They didn't know that to get to tomorrow
You first got to deal with the pain of today
Nobody told them that the heat they were feeling
would someday just leave them empty and cold
The girl from the forest and the boy from city
got beat down saving what was already gone
On the day that she left him he started dying
but she was too busy just getting away
The boy from the city jumped from the high bridge
into the waters that bled from the mountains
past where the sad girl drinks her cheap wine
Nobody found the city boys body it's still
in the waters that bleeds from the mountains
past where the sad girl drinks her cheap wine
into the waters that bled from the mountains
past where the sad girl drinks her cheap wine
The girl from the forest and the boy from city
were loving way harder than they could control
They didn't know that some love can wound you
deep in the places the poets call soul
They didn't know that to get to tomorrow
You first got to deal with the pain of today
Nobody told them that the heat they were feeling
would someday just leave them empty and cold
The girl from the forest and the boy from city
got beat down saving what was already gone
On the day that she left him he started dying
but she was too busy just getting away
The boy from the city jumped from the high bridge
into the waters that bled from the mountains
past where the sad girl drinks her cheap wine
Nobody found the city boys body it's still
in the waters that bleeds from the mountains
past where the sad girl drinks her cheap wine
