I Thought I Was a Child

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 around
 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
