Lyrics
Nothing But a Child
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.
Glance upon me walking on the ocean
Sun upon me walking on a wave
You can slide like the lord above.. a team in motion
But for everyone you do,
There's always one or two like me
you can't save
Sail on Maria, burn her to the ground
Slide your hand between her tears until she comes
Wake up her mother, tell her you're sorry now
All gods children walk before they run
Everything is beautiful in dream land
Everything is much, much better when we're gone
Think I'm going to write myself a letter
Something you can keep with you forever
Because everybody gets to be perfect when they're gone
Nothing but a child baby
Nothing but a child baby
Nothing but a child baby...
In you're arms, I am Nothing but a child baby
Nothing but a child baby
Nothing but a child baby
(repeats)
