Boy + Angel - Hannah Cohen

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…
