I Thought I Was a Child

歌詞

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
