C*
You'll lose your way
G*
A boy child rides upon your back
C*
Take him away
G*
Through mirrors dark and blessed with cracks
Bm E6sus4*
Through forgotten courtyards
C Bb
Where you used to search for youth
C*
Old gets a new life
G*
Reach out you can touch it's true
C*
He's not a shadow of shadows
G*
Like you, you see
C*
Hearts hold on holding
G*
If you stay one, you'll stay free
Bm E6sus4*
Go seek the lady
C Bb
Who will give, not take away
C*
Naked with stillness
G*
On the edge of dawn she stays
C*
Night starts to empty
G*
That's when her song begins
C*
She'll make you happy
G*
She'll take you deep within her
Bm E6sus4*
Window lights for wanderers
C Bb
Hide hard in your swollen eyes
C*
Echoes of laughter
G*
Hide in the cities thighs
C*
Love catch these fragments
G*
Swirling through the winds of night
C*
What can it cost
G*
To give a boy child back his sight
Bm E6sus4*
Extensions through dimensions
C Bb
Leave you feeling cold and lame
C*
Boy child mustn't tremble
G*
'cos he came without a name
