"My Only Boy" lyrics

My only boy, be not so blind
Open your eyelids wide
In through your mouth, breathe soft, light
There are no words, no hands, no eyes
That show where a door stands wide
In through your mouth, breathe soft, light

When your heart stand open
The silence trickles down, bright
And softly, slowly surrounds
Your little ghost town

Set all the silver lamps alight
Open the windows wide
Come to me now, in soft light

Show every world in its separate light
A gull's wing, a crow's dark eye
Where all the city's foundlings lie

When your heart stands open
And offered to the crowd
Draw lines around your chosen life
And let it burn, bright
Over all the lovely faces

(In place of the sun
In place of the moon...)
