Brazen boy with the unkempt hair
Run through the hills with your arms in the air
Catch the wind and hide it away
Why do you sleep with your eyes open wide
Your crooked smile says your trying to hide from me
Your honest secrets
You play in the sand
To cover the hole left behind by the man
With the spade in his hand
He'll cover his head and then count to ten
Searches for souls of forgotten men
Turns his back and hurries inside
Mother brushes the hair off his face
Places her hand tries to fill up the space
That's been left behind in the shadows
He'll stare at the door
Keeping an eye on the knob waiting for
It to fall on the floor
Please hold out your hand
Place it upon any freedom you can
To feel it expand
Brazen boy with the unkempt hair
Run through the hills with your arms in the air
Catch the wind and hide it away
You play in the sand
To cover the hole left behind by the man
With the spade in his hand
I said you play in the sand
To cover the hole left behind by the man
With the spade in his hand
