I Thought I Was A Child — текст песни (Bonnie Raitt)

It`s such a clever innocence with which you do your sorcery
As if somehow the years just bow and let that young girl go free
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
I thought I knew where I was going until I heard your laughter flowing
And came upon the wisdom in your eyes
Surprise--

I`ve spent my whole life running `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
