Boy

It was day, it was night, it was winter and rain
Summer and spring and then back again
It was a come to me, come to me, the mother, the child
And I wouldn't know, my eyes were too wild

She said, here we farm with feelings
With hands we turn the soil
It's a gambol, gambol, gambolling
Wishful sound of joy

He is my boy
He is my boy
He is my boy
He is my boy

It was a father forever, a mother so clever
I can tell, I can tell, he will do so well
Branded me father, marksman and king
And lord over planets of which children dream

She said, here we farm with feelings
With hands we turn the soil
It's a gambol, gambol, gambolling
Wishful sound of joy

He is my boy
He is my boy
He is my boy
He is my boy, woah

It was day, it was night, it was winter and rain
And summer and spring, and then back again
In 24 hours, in 24 years
And I have grown older with my well-oiled gears

She said, here we farm with feelings
Hands we turn the soil
It's a gambol, gambol, gambolling
Wishful sound of joy

He is my boy
He is my boy
He is my boy
He is my boy, woah
