Childhood 가사

Everyday’s a childhood Everyday’s a wild wood Always learning, always yearning Everyday’s a childhood Sun in my eyes, spring in my nose You asked what I remember most Songs she sung by my cradle side Father taught me to be kind Before I learned the world was hard Beneath the plum tree in the yard Thinking first life blossoms and then it fruits Thought even earth tastes pretty good Whoever makes the summer bloom When I grow up, I want to be like you I thought: I love all the things you do So when I grow up I want to be like you But you told me of the cuckoo bird Who takes the song birds from their nests And steals their tune before it's heard Now I know that sums up life the best 'Cause everyday’s a childhood Everyday’s a wild wood Always learning, always yearning Everyday’s a childhood Trouble turns up at your door Posts you heartbreak letters The next thing you know, you’ve realised You’ve never been much better But I remember what I love And I remember where I'm from So I’ll keep singing beauty’s song That is where my heart belongs 'Cause everyday’s a childhood Everyday’s a wild wood Always learning, always yearning Everyday’s a childhood When everything was all brand new That innocence of childhood Oh, the gentle spell that loved me well Before the cuckoo rang the bell Well if love’s the Sun and truth’s the rain Then mercy season's growing pains Yeah, things can leave an ugly stain But everyday I'm young again 'Cause everyday’s a childhood Everyday’s a wild wood Always learning, always yearning Everyday’s a childhood Everyday’s a childhood Everyday’s a wild wood Always learning, always yearning Everyday’s a childhood
