little boy in the story - biz barclay

by biz barclay
lyrics:
they say there's a ghost in the hills where I live
twenty-odd years spent walking never once have I found it
it's easy to think that it must be me
but if you're quite on a Sunday you can hear him weep
they think I'm the little boy in the story
but I just come when I'm called out by name
the pastor asks me why I never told them
I said his mom would never look at me the same
I gave my word at seven then I broke the rules
oh, the things they should tell you before they make you choose
so I try to stay awake in between the trees
staving off dreams of a maker that i'l never meet
they think I'm the little boy in the story
but I just come when I'm called out by name
the pastor asks me why I never told them
I said his mom would never look at me the same
my mama tells her friends that I'm different
she asks that they still lay down their hands
she told me not to talk to the preacher
she didn't think that he'd understand
so now I don't ask any questions
I don't even pray
I stay away in the mountains
try and forget my name
they think I'm the little boy in the story
but I just come when I'm called out by name
the pastor asks me why I never told them
I said his mom would never look at me
I said his mom would never look at me
the same
