Boy Child

[Verse 1] You'll lose your way A boy child rides upon your back Take him away Through mirrors dark and blessed with cracks Through forgotten courtyards Where you used to search for youth Old gets a new life Reach out, you can touch, it's true [Verse 2] He's not a shadow Of shadows, like you, you see Hearts hold on holding If you stay one, you'll stay free Go seek the lady Who will give, not take away Naked with stillness On the edge of dawn she stays [Verse 3] Night starts to empty That's when her song begins She'll make you happy She'll take you deep within Window lights for wanderers Hide hard in your swollen eyes Echoes of laughter Hide in the cities' thighs [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Love, catch these fragments Swirling through the winds of night What can it cost To give a boy child back his sight? Extensions through dimensions Leave you feeling cold and lame Boy child mustn't tremble 'cos he came without a name
