Boy Child Lyrics - Scott 4 - Scott Walker

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 

Cause he came without a name
