I Thought I Was A Child

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
