Boobar Come Back to Me

Boobar come back to me

I know you feel the pain that I feel

I've heard that a thousand times

It sings behind every door

And I go rushing into that room

To find nothing at all

I ran down into the street

And bathed in the city's noise

'Seems no matter where I go

I still hear that voice

She sang: Boobar

And all the ships came in

Before the storm began

She sang: Boobar come back to me

I know you feel the pain that I feel

I jumped on the nearest train

I travelled down to the shore

I screamed into the waves

But I still hear that voice

I picked up an old guitar

I tried to learn that song

It's been so many years now

Of 'where did all gone wrong

I sang it in every town

You know I tried my best

Some nights I almost made it shine

I've made a fool of it

Was there a time we really sold ourselves out

We wanted so much more

We wanted something else

I sang it in limousines

On the back of mules

It turned me into a king

It turned me into a fool

Boobar come back to me

I know you feel the pain that I feel

Boobar come back to me

I know you feel the pain that I feel
