EVERYDAY BOY
Joan Armatrading


Well I've never met anyone
Wiht your courage
And the way you enjoy life
Puts me to shame
Just an hour with you
And I understand why
We had to meet

I saw you look in the mirror
And adjust your hair
Smile
And leave the room

Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
But you're somebody special
Somebody who feels
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
But you are the one I'll remember

It's God's revenge
You're surrounded by fear
A compassionate man
You hold people dear

No blame for the mother
Who curses your name
She fears for her son
It's death by association

But you respect yourself
And you let it show
Some fade with guilt
And the shame

The way yo tell your story
With no tears for yourself
Just and everyday boy
Doing everyday things

You're not the first
And you won't be the last
But you are the one I'll remember

Hey hey Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things

Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
Just an everyday boy
