Beneath the starry cloak of night
Ten thousand icy points of light
A pin breaks to some greater glory
And here begins this mother's story
Like brittle glass the whispering air
Frozen words of my barren prayer
Chattering down the childless years
Diamond hard and sharp as tears
Then He took pity, who knows best
A golden sky both East and West
Burning in a double dawning
And on that very special morning
He came to us
He came to us
He was such a good boy
Never doing wrong
Allways such a good boy
Till the Others came along
Said they'd make him whole, those strange and nameless men
But they stole his soul to make him just like them
He was such a good boy
Allways such a good boy
Never doing wrong
Till the Others came along
The passing of a stranger's call
A baby like a falling star
No time for asking why or how
Embrace him as of family now
Just holding him
Enfolding him
He was such a good boy
Never doing wrong
Allways such a good boy
Till the Others came along
Said they'd make him whole, those strange and nameless men
But they stole his soul to make him just like them
He was such a good boy
Allways such a good boy
Never doing wrong
Till the Others came along
Ten thousand icy points of light
A pin breaks to some greater glory
And here begins this mother's story
Like brittle glass the whispering air
Frozen words of my barren prayer
Chattering down the childless years
Diamond hard and sharp as tears
Then He took pity, who knows best
A golden sky both East and West
Burning in a double dawning
And on that very special morning
He came to us
He came to us
He was such a good boy
Never doing wrong
Allways such a good boy
Till the Others came along
Said they'd make him whole, those strange and nameless men
But they stole his soul to make him just like them
He was such a good boy
Allways such a good boy
