I never knew his name
As he called to me
Pleading with his eyes
Suddenly so wise
Trying not to cry
Now hes gone and I
Never knew his name
Ive seen his kind before
Rising to his fall
God he was so young
Like a song half sung
Interrupted by
Someone just as shy
Who never knew his name
The true cost of honour
Is suddenly too clear
It measures too full and dear
He always looks the same
Dressed in blue or grey
All the life hell miss
Girls hell never kiss
Things hell never try
Unaware that I
Never knew his name
I never knew his name
Guess its just as well
So I do my part
Hiding from my heart
Whispering goodbye
Thanking god that I
Never knew his name
