There Was A Boy

[ EILEEN, spoken ]
Your eyes... they used to be such an oceanic blue. I wouldn't have been surprised if a sea turtle swam by!
Now they've gone distinctly gray

[ EILEEN ]
There was a boy who liked everything
Sun, people, boats, sugar
Indigo eyes took in everything
Lakes, camels, cars, picture
Skies, skateboards, dogs, summer

Where is that boy?
If he's hanging around
Some lost-and-found
Please tell him I'm here

Where is that boy?
If he's climbing a tree
Say hi for me
If he's under the stairs
In his castle of chairs
Please tell him I'm here

Glass will cut you
Suns will set
On ugly days we'd best forget
Storms and shipwrecks
I've had mine
What do I do?
I readjust
I realign

There was a boy who had everything
Sparks, freckles, luck, laughter
How many boys can have everything?
Brains, braces, God, girlfriends
Jokes, passions, life, lightning

Where is that boy?
If he's out on his swing
Or caroling
If he's still on his stilts
Or hiding inside his fortress of quilts
Please tell him I'm here

There was a boy who liked...

[ EILEEN, spoken ]
Or maybe you haven't seen him
