Roy Harper - I Am A Child lyrics

I am a child i am a sanctuary
Wild at my mother's knee
Freedom has a piece of me
Every night I run away
Loose the nooses and drift astray
Chasing dreams into outer space
Trying to face the day
Living life against the law

Forcing us all to endure
Sneaking home to close the door
Every night we run away
Loose the nooses and drift astray
Chasing dreams into outer space
Trying to face the day

Every night we do our best to lose it
Skinning up and chasing better days
Getting up and moving to the music
O dance my darling lady fair
My darling mayflower
Show me just how much you dare
Forget our daytime labour we're in the wind

You feel us in the breeze teaching leaves
To grow the trees smoothing
Daytime memories and every night we run away
Loose the nooses and drift astray
Chasing dreams into outer space
Trying to face the day
