It's such a clever innocence with which you do your sorcery
|
As if somehow the years just bow and let that young girl go free
|
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
|
I thought I knew where I was going until I heard your laughter flowing
|
And came upon the wisdom in your eyes
|
Surprise!
|
|
I've spent my whole life running 'round
|
Chasing songs from town to town
|
Thinking I'd be free so long as I never let love slow me down
|
So lonely and so wild until you turned and smiled
|
By now I should have long been gone
|
But here I am still looking on
|
As if I didn't know which way to run
|
|
It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me
|
As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be
|
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
|
I thought that I was free but I'm just one more prisoner of time
|
Alone within the boundaries of my mind
|
I thought I was a child
|
