I Thought I Was A Child

It's such a clever innocence With which you do your sorcery As if somehow your years Would bow and let that young boy go free Well, 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 Well, I've spent my whole life running 'round Chasing songs from town to town Thinking I'd be free by just 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 holding on As if I didn't know which way to run Well, 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 And I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled I thought that I'd free but I'm just one more prisoner of time Alone within the boundaries of my mind I thought I was a child
