It's such a clever innocence

With which you do your sorcery

As if somehow your years

Would bow and let that young boy go free

Well, 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

Well, I've spent my whole life running 'round

Chasing songs from town to town

Thinking I'd be free by just 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 holding on

As if I didn't know which way to run

Well, 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

And I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled

I thought that I'd free but I'm just one more prisoner of time

Alone within the boundaries of my mind

I thought I was a child
