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

I Thought I Was A Child Lyrics
