Doveman - Boy Angel lyrics

The boy never fell as he ran across the plain And home to winter She flew beside him an angel of despair And won't somebody tell him why the stars refuse to shine There's laughter in the dark And I can't sleep at night And why must the night last til the day Which never comes again The mountain's drawing closer The dawn is close behind The boy runs on his legs don't falter now The cold winds drive him on But look you careful now For all is withered where he runs And won't somebody tell him why the stars refuse to shine There's laughter in the dark And I can't sleep at night And why must the night last til the day Which never comes again A tunnel there beneath the mountain The boy runs on his stride never slowing The angel cannot follow She turns her back and flies away He runs through streets of ice now And ever shall til spring returns And won't somebody tell him why the stars refuse to shine There's laughter in the dark And I can't sleep at night And why must the night last til the day Which never comes again
