Boy Inside The Man Lyrics - Anthology 1980-1987 - Tom Cochrane

So long so long so long he's been away 

So long so long so long he's back again 

When I turned seventeen 

We had passion, we had dreams 

Thought the love we were fighting for 

Was something holy, something more 

When I turned twenty-one 

we were outside on the run 

When I walked out with my girl 

We went halfway around the world 

CHORUS 

I dreamed I saw her standing there 

Running for the boy inside the man 

I was hit hard by the light so bright it burned 

All at once I knew she'd understand 

Boy inside the man 

The boy inside the man 

When I turned twenty-five 

We were hungry, we had drive 

When I turned much older then

Still I've kept my dreams alive 

'Cause the boy will never die

Ah do you understand 

CHORUS 

The boy inside the man 

The boy inside the man 

So long so long so long 

You been away 

So long so long so long 

You're back again
