When I was a child   I dreamed like a child of wonder   With my back in the grass   My eyes to the sky to see   I believed in the stars   I knew they cast a spell that I was under   With my fingers in the dirt   I was part of the earth   Every living thing was part of me      But it's gone, it's gone   It's gone, it's gone, gone   I can't feel it   I can't feel it   Must've found a way out my back door   Must've run away out my back door   Because it's gone, gone, gone      Then I fell in love   Love gave me a shot of pure desire   There was nothing else like this   This unimagined bliss this ecstasy   Deep inside the night   I believed I saw the light ignite a fire   And it burned into the dark   It burned deep inside my heart   I thought it would burn eternally      But it's gone, it's gone   It's gone, it's gone, gone   I can't feel it   I can't feel it   Must've found a way out my back door   Must've run away out my back door   Because it's gone, gone, gone      So I run into the street   And I'm shouting into the phone   Asking everyone I meet   I say have you seen it on my doorstep   Did you see it in my car   Have you seen it in the alley   Was it on the back of some guitar   Is it sleeping in the hallway   Does it cry all night alone   Is it selling itself for money   Does it want, does it want to come home
