Paragraph Lyric
It's such a clever innocence with which you do your sorceryAs if somehow the years just bow and let that young girl go freeI thought I was a child until you turned and smiledI thought I knew where I was going until I heard your laughter flowingAnd came upon the wisdom in your eyesSurprise--I've spent my whole life running 'roundChasing songs from town to townThinking I'd be free so long as I never let love slow me downSo lonely and so wild until you turned and smiledBy now I should have long been goneBut here I am still looking onAs if I didn't know which way to runIt's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to meAs if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to beI thought I was a child until you turned and smiledI thought that I was free but I'm just one more prisoner of timeAlone within the boundaries of my mindI thought I was a child
