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
