Bonnie Raitt - I Thought I Was A Child lyrics

It's such a clever innocence with which you do your sorcery as if somehow the years just bow and let that young boy go free I thought I knew where I was going until I heard your laughter flowing and came upon the wisdom in your eyes...surprise. I spent my whole life runnin' round, 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. I thought I was a child.
