When I Was A Child |
When I was a child |
The days whispered by |
In a half-seen memory of an angel’s flight |
People used to say |
You’ll be old before your age |
My bitter laughter would ring out at them |
Once I was a child on the outside |
Now I am a child on the inside |
Sometimes I cry |
I used to be a child |
Sitting by a stream |
The night breeze shone on me |
I swore to never leave |
Once there was a boy |
A breeze flew past |
Through our laughter |
Now there’s no time |
For sitting by a stream |
I’ve got other things on my mind |
Now there is no boy |
I’ve left him in the past |
Along with my love |
When I was a child |
The days whispered by |
In a half-seen memory of an angel’s flight |
People used to say |
You’ll be old before your age |
My bitter laughter would ring out at them |
Once I was a child in the daytime |
Now I am a child of the nighttime |
Sometimes I cry |
I used to be a child |
