The Maccabees - Child lyrics
[The Maccabees - Child lyrics]
Never as a child
Would you give this time of day
You'd take it from the shadows
And you give it another name
But now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
And though it awful gentle takes you
And it awful slowly leaves
It's a weight I wouldn't wish upon
And I wish I wouldn't have to wait
Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
Never as a child never as a child
Now it's so vivid now it's so vivid
Now it's so vivid now it's so vivid
Given to the wild given to the wild away
Wide away wide away, wide away, wide away
Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
Would you give this time of day
You'd take it from the shadows
And you give it another name
But now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
And though it awful gentle takes you
And it awful slowly leaves
It's a weight I wouldn't wish upon
And I wish I wouldn't have to wait
Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
Never as a child never as a child
Now it's so vivid now it's so vivid
Now it's so vivid now it's so vivid
Given to the wild given to the wild away
Wide away wide away, wide away, wide away
Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
