There's a place by the river in the back of my mindDaddy you showed me but back then I was blindJust give me directions I promise I'll goPlease let me see 'cos I'm too young to knowLet me see 'cos I'm too young to knowI found what I searched for a warm august nightIn a dream in a desert I was high as a kiteWhen I finally learned how to manage my statesI pured out my heart on the buffalo tapesOh those beautiful buffalo tapesSo give me one by landGive me two if the seaGive me three if my cool friends are asking for meTell them I have gone fishingAnd that no one knows where'cos daddy they hate me when I am not thereOh they hate me when I am not thereOh the tip of my pen has run totally dryFrom hundreds of letters to you asking whyThey sent invitatons then hated my stayThey're shooting my wings while I'm flying awayThey're shooting my wings awayNow I'm happy that I've broken freeDaddy is it all that I hope it will bePlease let me see 'cos I'm too young to knowLet me see 'cos I'm to young to know
