The Kid |
| I’m the kid who ran away with the circus |
| Now I’m watering elephants |
| But I sometimes lie awake in the sawdust |
| Dreaming I’m in a suit of light |
| Late at night in the empty big top I’m |
| All alone on the high wire |
| Look, he’s working without a net this time |
| He’s a real death-defier |
| I’m the kid who always looked out the window |
| Failing test in geography |
| But I’ve seen things far beyond just the schoolyard |
| Distant shores of exotic lands |
| There, the spires of the Turkish Empire |
| It’s six months since we made landfall |
| Riding low with the spice of India |
| Through Gibraltar, we’re rich men all |
| I’m the kid who thought someday we’d be lovers |
| Always held out that time would tell |
| But time was talking, I guess I just wasn’t listening |
| No surprise if you know me well |
| And as we’re walking toward the train station |
| There’s a whispering rainfall |
| 'Cross the boulevard you slip your hand in mine |
| In the distance the train calls |
| I’m the kid who has this habit of dreaming |
| Sometimes gets me in trouble too |
| But the truth is I could no more stop dreaming |
| Than I could make them all come true |
