boy child

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, 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
