Boy Child
(Engel)
Intro: C/G Gmaj7 C/G Gmaj7
C/G Gmaj7
You lose your way, a boy child rides upon you back
C/G Gmaj7
Take him away through mirrors dark and blessed with cracks
Bm A C Bb
Through forgotten courtyards where you used to search for you
C/G Gmaj7
Old gets a new life, reach out, you can touch, it's true
C/G Gmaj7
He's not a shadow of shadows like you, you see
C/G Gmaj7
Hearts hold on holding, if you stay one you'll stay free
Bm A C Bb
Go seek the lady who will give not take away
C/G Gmaj7
Naked with stillness on the edge of dawn she stays
C/G Gmaj7
Night starts to empty that's when her song begins
C/G Gmaj7
She'll make you happy, she'll take you deep within
Bm A C Bb
Window lights for wanderers, hide heart in your swollen eyes
C/G Gmaj7
Echoes of laughter hide in the city's thighs
C/G Gmaj7 C/G Gmaj7
C/G Gmaj7
Love catch these fragments swirling through the winds of night
C/G Gmaj7
What can it cost to give a boy child back his sight?
Bm A C Bb
Extensions through dimensions leave you feeling cold and lame
C/G Gmaj7
Boy child mustn't tremble 'cos he came without a name
