Boy + Angel

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?

Mountains drawing closer
The dawn is close behind
The boy runs on
His legs don't falter, no
The cold wind drives him on
But looking careful now
'Cause all is livid when 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?

Eternal end beneath the mountain
The boy runs on and on
His drive never slowing
The angel cannot follow
She turns her back and flies away
He runs through streets of ice now
And ever softer, 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?
