Once upon a wintertime
When I was a boy
And fending for myself
And taking some joy
In stealing from the shops
On the boulevard
I came upon a man who was saying it's
Hard to walk along the streets
And see what you see
My heart is an ocean
But it's drying up
Faster than his eye could see I snuck up behind
Reached in his pocket
Took his watch and said, "I think I gotcha"
He ran away
I ran away
Once upon a better time
When I was the man
And so far away
From where my story began
And going to the shops
Of silver and gold
I thought I heard a voice behind me saying I
Told you anyone can see
That you don't belong
What gave you the notion
You're the star of this
Song was playing in the shop I turned to a man
Who asked the time
And did I have a dime
I said I gotcha
I went to pay
He ran away
I ran away
I ran away
I ran away
I ran away
