Lyrics
Of Two Beginnings
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.
She is twelve and I'm only ten
Buried in this soft mountain of pillows
Parents away
She asks me have I been touched
Have I done the thing with anyone yet
Silence, a shy no
And there is nothing
That we'd rather share
Than that bodily warmth if we'd dare
But she's already twelve and I am
Just a child
Warm and shy
She's so old, already twelve and I am only ten
Than was me, young and free, there and then
Now in the hotel room I lie wondering who I am
Never quite as sure after a life of questioning
Finding out at last that freedom is
A state of mind
But still not knowing how to get along with this mankind
Finding out at last that freedom is a state of mind
