[00:03.44] Songs Title：kingdom of childhood
[00:04.82]
[00:09.37] The ship that sails the seven seas
[00:16.30] Has finally brought me to my knees
[00:21.30] It's not much to my liking
[00:27.86] The people standing on the rock
[00:34.48] Are innocent and they know not
[00:38.97] That the tide comes in
[00:41.16] Death rides it like a Viking
[00:47.65] The mountains rise above the mist
[00:54.51] And the golden prince I've never kissed
[00:59.69] He may die tonight
[01:05.93] And why do I want to ride with
[01:13.23] The prince whose alleged horse is white?
[01:17.72] Because when we ride together
[01:21.15] Our lives are cloaked forever
[01:27.47] Happiness is temporary
[01:30.78] Believe me, I know
[01:34.46] It can arrive as a shining crystal
[01:38.08] And leave as the melting snow
[01:42.07] Come all you lads and lasses
[01:45.94] The Kingdom of Childhood passes
[01:56.80] Oh, but I am hardy in these years
[02:04.22] Or I'd have sunk down with my tears
[02:08.71] To the earth beneath my feet
[02:14.89] I want to endure the slings and arrows
[02:22.32] That Hamlet spoke about
[02:24.81] But harrowed,
[02:27.12] He was forced to a ragged defeat
[02:34.86] There was a method to his madness
[02:42.16] But overcome by pride and sadness
[02:47.28] He did not endure
[02:53.59] Surely his death was a grave mistake
[03:00.39] How many deaths do we really calculate?
[03:06.00] Isn't it true, Lord
[03:09.12] Tragedies happen when you're bored?
[03:15.23] Happiness is temporary
[03:18.04] Believe me, I know
[03:21.91] It can arrive as a shining crystal
[03:25.34] And leave as the melting snow
[03:29.83] Come all you lads and lasses
[03:33.89] The Kingdom of Childhood passes
[03:45.19] You archangels, you have some nerve
[03:52.55] To watch all of this you are absurd
[03:56.67] You even have a choice
[04:02.66]
[04:03.22] Do you know all? I think you may
[04:09.65]
[04:10.52] And what is there for you to say
[04:14.76] But understand
[04:16.13] Why God took back your voice
[04:23.19] SIlence is golden, I believe
[04:30.67] And you are worth your weight
[04:33.61] In wreaths of purest gold
[04:41.47] While we are here with debts and bets
[04:49.09] And aircraft carriers and jets
[04:53.14] I call out fruitlessly
[04:56.08] Give me an archangel for company
[05:02.71] Happiness is temporary
[05:05.64] Believe me, I know
[05:09.63] It can arrive as a shining crystal
[05:12.82] And leave as the melting snow
[05:17.18] Come all you lads and lasses
[05:20.99] The Kingdom of Childhood passes
[05:31.04]
[05:31.98] Me in the woods at the break of dawn
[05:39.33]
[05:39.96] The candles of the night still on
[05:43.77] The chimes ring from the hollow
[05:50.57] I too am worth my weight in gold
[05:58.06] But the fishmonger and I are old
[06:01.80] When the mint runs out
[06:03.68] Our real lives will follow
[06:09.78] It was misfortune who woke you up
[06:17.40] To pour you the dregs from her broken cup
[06:22.71] Cast her aside
[06:28.88] The sunrise will appear with the mockingbird
[06:35.49] Who stays deep in the canyon and is heard
[06:39.68] Glorious in his song
[06:44.23] He cannot be wrong
[06:50.23] Happiness is temporary
[06:53.15] Believe me, I know
[06:57.28] It can arrive as a shining crystal
[07:00.15] And leave as the melting snow
[07:04.83] Come all you lads and lasses
[07:08.69] The Kingdom of Childhood passes
[07:12.06] There's another one just beyond
[07:15.68] Act quickly before it's gone
[07:25.67]
[07:37.58] ? 1976, 1977 Gabriel Earl Music （ASCAP）
