Lyrics: Malcolm Holcombe. For the Mission Baby. Someone Left Behind.

She took a seat by the window
and covered her face as the tears rolled down
i heard her whisper johnny, oh johnny
why did you leave me alone

the old bus driver
pulled a picture out of his trouser back pocket
shook his head and said jenny, dear jenny
sixteen years she's up and gone

chorus
well there's one who does the hurtin'
two who'll feel the pain
one who takes the train, another takes the blame
but there's better days ahead in time
for someone, somewhere left behind

there's a young man on the corner
checking his watch as the time rolls by
no one hears him prayin' God, oh my God
in my life what have i done

chorus
