Residential Boy

Mike Heron

Composed by: Mike Heron
We weren't ready for the country me and you 
Just a couple of city boys 
We couldn't even sing the blues 
We couldn't even light a fire or find 
The polestar 
Give me suburban moonshine 
You know I was raised on dogfights 
Weaned on the streetlights 
I'm a residential boy 

Didn't ask to get born here 
In the city I just got dumped 
And I just got thumped 
When I tried to run away 
You didn't ask to get born here neither 
But now's the time we can spread our wings 
Make it out where the clear brook sings 
And time can slip away, slip away 
Without Love 

See him out through the window 
In the streets below us 
Keepin' his sadness out of view 
He's so lonely, he's so low 
He's like I was before you 
Without love, oh how low I was 
And I only know now how low I was without love 

Pull down the shade 
You know that I was made to love you 
And only now I know how bad it was 
Without you in my arms 
Without you in my heart 
I was only playing a part 
I was hardly living at all 
Without love, oh how low I was 
And I only know now how low I was without love
