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 Possible Verse chord phrasings: C G C G
