Lyrics

By walter egan and lindsey buckingham

Away in the darkness past midnight
As dim as a candle there burns a light
There sits a boy alone in his room
He reads magazines by the light of the moon

And the loneliest boy can always be found
In the room upstairs when the sun goes down
He's the loneliest boy in a lonely town

He's wary of strangers so quiet and shy
His neighbors would call him an average guy
He clings to the world he knows so well
And what he feels really none can tell

It happened that cold gray afternoon
Alone in the window of his lonely room
A solitary boy with a long black gun
A shot rang out and the deed was done

So the loneliest boy, just lookin' for love
Shot down a man from a window above
And the loneliest boy so quiet and shy
Alone in his cell just a waitin' to die
He's the loneliest boy in this whole damn town..
