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 pass to the day which never comes again
Mountains drawing closer
The dawn is close behind
The boy runs on His legs don’t falter now the cold wind drives him on And look you careful now
For all is withered where he runs
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 pass to the day which never comes again
Ah…
