lyrics

There is an orphan
Wandering main streets
Running from faces
He never sees
Running from figures
He can't make out
Fueled on fear and
Drowned by doubt
Victim of circumstance
Victim of love
Got lost in the crowd
The push and shove
They promised you secrets
Angels only tell
They promise you heaven and
Give you hell
He used to be the whiz kid
Used to be the pride and joy
Do no wrong
Fill your heart with a song
Everybody's blue eyed boy
Everybody's blue eyed boy
There's an angel on the porch
Answer the door
Tell them ol blue eyes doesn't
Live here anymore
No forwarding address
Was left behind
The mail box was full of
Old valentines
He used to be the whiz kid
Used to be the pride and joy
Do no wrong
Fill your heart with a song
Everybody's blue eyed boy
Everybody's blue eyed boy
