Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Who's Grown Up Now

On this June morning, I give you warning

I might just fly away across the dawn

I looked into my lover's eyes, there I saw the sunrise

There I saw the birth of something new

And suddenly I'm not the same little boy

'Cause I can't see the people that I meet

All I see is her

Since the time she went away I just exist from day to day

I can't live, I can't love without her near

Sitting here in my darkened room, whistling through the velvet gloom

Wondering what the hell I'm doing here

For suddenly I'm not the same little boy

And I can't see the people that I meet

All I see is her

There's just me and my conscience now, there's no one to tell me why or how

I fell away, it's time I must return

We might recover what has been, turn all the pieces round again

Change and rearrange, begin again
