[Strumming Guitar instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Same blue hoodie Same cracked curb Paper cup castle At the edge of the world Morning buses Coughed gray air He just watched them Like he wasn’t there [Chorus] Oh The kid on the curb Little ghost in the rain Counting cars Counting days Never saying his name I kept walking on by Carrying my borrowed hurt While the seasons all turned ’Round the kid on the curb [Verse 2] July heat shimmered Melted chalk lines He kicked pebbles Through the slow freight of time December breath Hung like a cloud Snow on his lashes He never cried out loud [Whistling solo] [Chorus] Oh The kid on the curb Little ghost in the rain Counting cars Counting days Never saying his name I kept walking on by Carrying my borrowed hurt While the seasons all turned ’Round the kid on the curb [Acoustic solo instrumental] [Bridge] Then one day Just empty stone Gum stains Gravel But he was gone Did he get a warm bed? Did he get a last straw? Or did the world just blink And erase what it saw? [Chorus] Oh The kid on the curb Now a hole in the frame I still count I still search Every face Every lane I keep walking on by But the question still burns Where in this turning world Did the kid on the curb The kid on the curb Go? Where did he go? [Whistling and Acoustic solo instrumental]
