Boy of Air Lyrics

We looked up into the sky and saw him
Giant boy of air, with rainbow colours in his hair
I know who he looks for and I look away
If our eyes meet, they'll marry
And there could be no sadder fate than to love a boy

He appears over rooftops, searching shadows
His cloud fingers his sweeping vapour trails
I know who he looks for and I look away
If our eyes meet, they'll marry
And there could be no sadder fate than to love a boy of air

Endless nights
Nights without end
I don't know how I stand it,
I don't know,
Hiding myself
I hide myself
From the soft glimmerings
Of heaven

I know.
