lyrics

The Boy’s Heart

Oh arrow straight and slender, with grey eyes unafraid
You see the rose’s splendour, nor wreck that they shall fade
Youth in its flush and flower, bare the soul of whitest flame
Eternity in an hour, all life and death in a game
May youth forever weave you, his magic around your ways
And time the robber leave you the boy’s heart all your days


Letʼs free ourselves, break out of life’s weight and chains
Piss off to Texas, forget the game
Letʼs free ourselves, break out of life’s weight and chains
Go get a whiskey, forget the game
We’ll be living out December, from morrow through to morrow
An old belief to lead us, pencil birth to follow
Surrounded by a new time, of new flesh and new life
So we will weep December, so we will weep new life

Come the all important morning
A child will have blended, his birth will follow
