Whiz Kid - Laurie (EP 1992) - Merry Christmas (1992)

Sung by Daniel on the EP "Laurie"
Words and music by Mark Hartenbach

 

there is an orphan

wandering main streets

running from faces

he never sees

running from figures

he can't make out

fueled on fear and

drowned by doubt

victim of circumstance

victim of love

got lost in the crowd

the push and shove

they promised you secrets

angels only tell

they promise you heaven and

give you hell

he used to be the whiz kid

used to be the pride and joy

do no wrong

fill your heart with a song

everybody's blue eyed boy

everybody's blue eyed boy

there's an angel on the porch

answer the door

tell them ol' blue eyes doesn't

live here anymore

no forwarding address

was left behind

the mail box was full of

old valentines

he used to be the whiz kid

used to be the pride and joy

do no wrong

fill your heart with a song

everybody's blue eyed boy

everybody's blue eyed boy
