Lyrics
Childhood
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My day couldn't get any more sad
Unless I were at the movies
And I wonder now, oh, if my heart will take
Into a snowy deep after the news of your sleep
Childhood is a kingdom where no one ever dies
Oh, haunted willow, won't you melt me
I've been missing you like my disappearing tattoos
That wasn't water-proofed
I know you leaked in the rain
You weren't meant for this terrain
Childhood is a kingdom where no one ever dies
Childhood is a kingdom where no one ever dies
Oh, I'm going to wear a black dress soon
And get lifted in the afternoon like a helium balloon
Childhood is a kingdom where no one ever dies
Oh, childhood
