Browne Jackson I Thought I Was A Child Lyrics

I Thought I Was A Child Lyrics

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
