The Poor Boy Is Taken Away

Richard Thompson

[Verse 1]
Called him poor boy
You took him for fun
He dressed for the tinkering trade
He dressed for the tinkering trade
Now the poor boy is taken away

[Verse 2]
No use waiting
Like a ghost in a dream
The world has no comfort to bring
The world has no comfort to bring
He left you, took everything

[Verse 3]
No use standing
Waving adieu
The penny won't drop in your mind
The penny won't drop in your mind
The old flame's left you behind

[Verse 4]
No use crying
In a room full of memories
You never will find yesterday
You never will find yesterday
And the poor boy is taken away
