The Maccabees – Child lyrics
Never as a child
Would you give this time of day
You would take it from the shadows
And you give it another name
But now it's all that's left
And though it awful gentle takes you
And it awful slowly leaves
It's a weight I wouldn't wish upon
And I wish I wouldn't have to wait
Now it's all that's left
Never as a child
Now it's so vivid
Given to the wild
While the ways of a child
Are whiled away, whiled away
Would you give this time of day
You would take it from the shadows
And you give it another name
But now it's all that's left
And though it awful gentle takes you
And it awful slowly leaves
It's a weight I wouldn't wish upon
And I wish I wouldn't have to wait
Now it's all that's left
Never as a child
Now it's so vivid
Given to the wild
While the ways of a child
Are whiled away, whiled away
Never as a child Would you give this time of day You would take it from the shadows And you give it another name But now it's all that's left And though it awful gentle takes you And it awful slowly leaves It's a weight I wouldn't wish upon And I wish I wouldn't have to wait Now it's all that's left Never as a child Now it's so vivid Given to the wild While the ways of a child Are whiled away, whiled away Explain Request ×
