Song language: English
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 |
