         1. A  boy alone    so   far from home endless rooftops from my window
         2.    Now I've gained some understanding of the only world that we see

I felt the gloom of empty rooms on rainy afternoons
Things that I once dreamed of     have become reality             These

Sorry about the lyrics, the Tab Creator doesn't space according to note value
so a lot of the chorus doesn't fit in...but you get the picture.
