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 |
