Lyrics
Taken Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The dog that lives in the woods makes me tell it
That I could be running like she by the cold street
Then I wouldn't be sitting with drinks at your table
Mentioning words understood
I was taken by a taken girl
By a taken girl
I'm in a taken world
Will it always be
What we think it should be
Will reality
Still mystery
But it's taken
Oh my aching boy
It's my dream of joy
It's awakened in me
But it never was
Only was a dream
Oh, it's pretty thing
Oh, taken girl
Coward
That's something she doesn't see fitting in her life
But then, how could you after you've heard all the stories?
But then, someone says people can see all dimension
And
He runs off kissing the tree and I'm taken
By a taken girl
By a taken girl
I'm in a taken world
Will it always be
What we think it should be
Will reality
Still mystery
But she's taken
Oh, my aching boy
She's my dream of joy
She's awakened in me
But it never worked
Only was a dream
All her pretty things
To the taken boy
