when i was a child

Lyrics

when i was a child, the days whispered by, in a half-seen memory of an angel's flight, people used to say, you'll be old before your age, my bitter laughter would ring out at them, once i was a child on the outside, now i am a child on the inside, sometimes i cry, i used to be a child, sitting by a stream, the night breeze shone on me, i swore to never leave, once there was a boy, a breeze flew past, through our laughter, now there's no time, for sitting by a stream, i've got other things on my mind, now there is no boy, i've left him in the past, along with my love, when i was a child, the days whispered by, in a half-seen memory of an angel's flight, people used to say, you'll be old before your age, my bitter laughter would ring out at them, once i was a child in the daytime, now i am a child of the nighttime, sometimes i cry, i used to be a child
