Artist/Band: Steve Earle
Lyrics for Song: The Boy Who Never Cried
Lyrics for Album: Trancendental Blues [2000]



Long ago and far away

In a land no map can find

There lived in long forgotten days

A boy who never cried

He was his mother's only child

So she never wondered why

Until the news spread far and wide

Of a boy who never cried.



From fabled lands the pilgrims came

To behold the silent child

In ancient tones they sang his name

Over every lonely mile

There were those who came in reverence

There were those who stood outside

And whispered low in quatrains dim

Of a boy who never cried.



Days grew long and short until

The seasons turned to years

The child grew strong and fairer still

With a face unstained by tears

And every maid and lady fair

Held her breath when he passed by

For their mothers bid them all beware

Of a man who never cries.



He lived alone for all his years

And then on the day he died

He shed a single precious tear

For a boy who never cried.
