As the day is going out
and the moon is watching the sky
Alone in the square is
walking a man
He sits down near the river
looks at the castle and cries
I don’t feel at my best
watching this man
Poor Little Wallace
lonesome cowboy, with a frozen soul
Oh Poor Little Wallace
lying on the cold wet and silent grass
You don’t have any heart?
Hey! you don’t have any heart or what?
You pretend to be the ones who know
But you don’t know anything
at all
Sure, he is different!
A bit strange, that’s right
but he isn’t as crazy as you say
And tell me, what gives you the right?
It is true I agreed to give him a lesson
I thought he could learn something
but that’s enough now we’ve gone too fare
oh lord what have we done!
Poor Little Wallace
fishes cry, for you
Oh Poor Little Wallace
the ground is red near the piece of glass
You don’t have any heart!
Hey! you don’t have any heart or what?
You pretend to be the ones who know
But you don’t know anything
at all
and I look at the window
trying to think about rain
I’m not one of them you know,
and don’t have to be blamed
Why you and not me?
Wrong place wrong time my friend
No one wants to hurt you anymore
you could join us again
but you’re in a better place now ,
far from our violence
Poor little Wallace
I’ll write hero on the grass
Ho Poor little Wallace
we chose the wrong one
you chose the wrong one
