[00:43.06] It's such a clever innocence
[00:46.52] with which you do your sorcery
[00:50.70] As if somehow the years just bow
[00:54.62] and let that young girl go free
[00:58.45] I thought I was a child
[01:02.45] until you turned and smiled
[01:06.49] I thought I knew where I was going
[01:10.77] until I heard your laughter flowing
[01:15.48] And came upon the wisdom in your eyes
[01:23.00] Surprise--
[01:31.89] I've spent my whole life running 'round
[01:36.16] Chasing songs from town to town
[01:40.05] Thinking I'd be free so long
[01:42.91] as I never let love slow me down
[01:46.84] So lonely and so wild
[01:51.06] until you turned and smiled
[01:54.84] By now I should have long been gone
[01:59.08] But here I am still looking on
[02:02.75] As if I didn't know which way to run
[02:42.13] It's such a clever innocence
[02:45.80] with which you show myself to me
[02:49.84] As if you know how it feels
[02:52.70] to never be who you wanted to be
[02:57.07] I thought I was a child
[03:00.74] until you turned and smiled
[03:04.78] I thought that I was free
[03:07.44] but I'm just one more prisoner of time
[03:13.18] Alone within the boundaries of my mind
[03:29.72] I thought I was a child
