from the songs album For Everyman
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
