The boy next door

I think I'm gonna be sad

I think it's today...

The boy next door has gone away

He was big and strong

But so weak and pale 

When they carried him away...

I saw him in the ambulance

I remember

The hugs 

He'd sneak them when nobody was looking

He'd ask for a smile

We held hands

The crush didn't last 

He got married

He had two girls

He didn't look at me anymore


>>>

I'm still here, next door

And he's somewhere in the celestial kingdom

Where Mormons live

With his cat, Sparky

The garden grows wild

I'm still next door, waiting
