lyrics

ONE OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL BOYS
Written by Peggy Seeger & Kate St John
Publishing: Bucks Music / Barking Green

I knew him
He was one of those beautiful boys
Each of them alone, on their own
I knew him
So gentle, so quiet, no swagger, no noise
One of those beautiful children,
One of those beautiful boys

Can’t move
Another year and nothing’s changed
Nothing to give, don’t know how to live
Can’t move
See me, hear me, love me, touch me
The walls of my room are above me
Don’t want to leave but I have to go

The sea sweeps through our house
The stars have all gone out
The dog sits down close to me
A bird sings on the branch of that tree
A bird sings on that tree

One of those beautiful boys
One of those beautiful boys
