[English]

Where are you

You never knew yourself well enough, hah

But she never knew you at all

And when she put you out on your own

It may have stolen your innocence but not, no not your soul

Tell me where is little boy blue, ho ho

You'll find him standin' always one step ahead, oh

First a little shy, a little boy blue woh

Wise blood runs warm and deep

On the street, kids walkin', just a kid walkin', just a kid

You send a letter with photographs, ahh

I'll tuck them under my dreams

And if we wake up old beyond our years

Not quite as brave as we seem,

it's just the pain that never disappears

Tell me where is little boy blue, ho ho

You'll find him standin' always one step ahead, oh

First a little shy, a little boy blue, woh

Wise blood runs warms and deep

On the street, kids walkin', just a kid walkin', just a kid

Who! Hey hey

Where are you

When she put you out on your own

It may have stolen your innocence but not, no not your soul

Tell me where is little boy blue, ho ho

You'll find him standin' always one step ahead, oh

First a little shy, a little boy blue, woh woh

Wise blood runs warms and deep

On the street, kids walkin',

just a kid walkin', just a kid walkin', just a kid

Where are you

Where are you

Where are you boy blue

Hey, where are you

You always find him one step ahead

You always find him one step ahead

Ahead

Where are you

Where are you, boy blue
