Child

Never as a child

Would you give this time of day

You would take it from the shadows

And you give it another name

But now it’s all that’s left

Now it’s all that’s left

And though it awful gentle takes you

And it awful slowly leaves

It’s a weight I wouldn’t wish upon

And I wish I wouldn’t have to wait

But now it’s all that’s left

Now it’s all that’s left

Now it’s all that’s left

Now it’s all that’s left

Never as a child

Never as a child

Now it’s so vivid

Now it’s so vivid

Now it’s so vivid

Now it’s so vivid

Given to the wild

Given to the wilder ways

While the ways of a child

Are whiled away, whiled away

Now it’s all that’s left

Now it’s all that’s left
