The ballad of lester walker lyrics

Artist  : Whitlams 
Song : The ballad of lester walker
 
He went to parties but always stood alone People
amused him, he was always looking on But now our
Lester Walker's gone Bus rides, highways, looking
for a new place Found a new space and called it
home Seen on beaches making castles in the sand
Being alone was all he'd ever known Well he's
gone Our Lester's gone from our home that's what
his mother cries He doesn't even phone to tell
her how he is His room's the same as when he was
just a little boy I know that he'll return some
day, yeah she knows he will Three months later in
the park he meets a boy names Sid They talk of
all the things they'd do and all the things they
did Every day they'd sit and meet and talk and
watch and laugh So close a bond yet so innocent,
a love was formed The two of them climbed up a
hill and in a warm embrace They watch the sun
slowly set behind a mountain range All they
needed was there and then nothing needed to be
said 'Cause nothing can disturb the unconcerned
But then In the morning paper Lester reads the
Sid is dead Got stabbed in the park late last
night Lester cries out in pain, runs to the
window and releases himself Now side by side they
lie in the mortuary Well he's gone Our Lester's
gone from our home That's what his mother cries
The phone smashed on the floor, she knows where
her son now lies His room's the same as when he
was just a little boy Never to return to his
mother's loving arms Oh yes he's gone Our
Lester's gone from our home She cries and cries
No he don't phone no more, she knows where he now
lies His room's the same as when he was just a
little boy Never to return to his mother's loving
arms
