Boy Child Lyrics

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

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

Night starts to empty

That's when her song begins

She'll make you happy

She'll take you deep within her

Window lights for wanderers

Hide hard in your swollen eyes

Echoes of laughter

Hide in the cities thighs

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
