lyrics

It’s been years since I saw Lydia’s boy
Now he stands up straight
There’s something in his face I’m not used to
Golden and proud
A lion waiting for a crowd
And I want to lead him out

So young, he’s so unbroken
He falls with his eyes wide open
But he ain’t seen nothing yet

I am losing my mind over Lydia’s boy
But I would never say, because he is miles away
and much too good for me
Hard to know if i just want him because I’m alone
Because I’ve been places
he’d never want to go

So young, he’s so unbroken
He falls with his eyes wide open
But he ain’t seen nothing yet

But the next time I see Lydia’s boy
I will make sure he sees me
