Lost Boys Calling Lyrics

Artist: Roger Waters
Album: Flickering Flame

Come hold me now
I am not gone
I would not leave you here alone
In this dead calm beneath the waves
I can still hear those lost boys calling

You could not speak
You were afraid
To take the risk of being left again
And so you tipped your hat and waved and then
You turned back up the gangway of that steel tomb again

And in Mott street in July
When I hear those seabirds cry
I hold the child
The child in the man
The child that we leave behind

And in Mott street in July
When I hear those seabirds cry
I hold the child
The child in the man
The child that we leave behind

The spotlight fades
The boys disband
The final notes lie mute upon the sand
And in the silence of the grave
I can still hear those lost boys calling

We left them there
When they were young
The men were gone until the west was won
And now there's nothing left but time to kill
You never took us fishin' dad and now you never will

And in Mott street in July
When I hear those seabirds cry
I hold the child
The child in the man
The child that we leave behind

by Arvind on 1/6/2009 10:07pm These are perhaps the best lyrics I have read. They strike a chord deep within you somewhere, and make you think of life beyond its exising meaning. I'd highly recommend this one !

by Hernán Contreras-Caro on 9/9/2009 9:16pm I saw the movie "1900: the Legend of pianist at the ocean", by Giuseppe Tornatore and Ennio Morricone and I was very impressed because the beautiful music. After that, I heard the wonderful song by Roger Waters and my heart is plenty of emotion and aesthetic pleasure. Thanks, Waters and Morricone
