When I Was a Child
When I was a child, I moved like a ship
I wrote in margins, I bit my lip
When I was a child, my rules were sure
My rhapsodies bohemian, my rhythms all so pure
When I was a child, I dreamed in brackets
Drew what was wild, and cut down the rackets
When I was a child, I shed my skin
Counted my bones, swam without fins
We would run wild while our forms were filled in
These are the days we were children
We would run wild with the swords we were wieldin'
These are the days we were
The days we were children
When I was a child, home was a palindrome
Jesus a parallel and fear but a garden gnome
When I was a child I blew a kiss from a horn
Broke down and wept for all the living, not yet born
We would run wild while our forms were filled in
These are the days we were children
We would run wild with the swords we were wieldin'
These are the days we were...
The days we were children
I wrote in margins, I bit my lip
When I was a child, my rules were sure
My rhapsodies bohemian, my rhythms all so pure
When I was a child, I dreamed in brackets
Drew what was wild, and cut down the rackets
When I was a child, I shed my skin
Counted my bones, swam without fins
We would run wild while our forms were filled in
These are the days we were children
We would run wild with the swords we were wieldin'
These are the days we were
The days we were children
When I was a child, home was a palindrome
Jesus a parallel and fear but a garden gnome
When I was a child I blew a kiss from a horn
Broke down and wept for all the living, not yet born
We would run wild while our forms were filled in
These are the days we were children
We would run wild with the swords we were wieldin'
These are the days we were...
The days we were children
