Peter, Paul & Mary - The Kid Lyrics
Im the kid who ran away with the circusNow Im watering elephantsBut I sometimes lie awake in the sawdustDreaming Im in a suit of lightLate at night in the empty big topIm all alone on the high wireLook hes working without a net this timeHes a real death defierIm the kid who always looked out the windowFailing tests in geographyBut Ive seen things far beyond just the schoolyardDistant shores of exotic landsTherere the spires of the turkish empireSix months since we made landfallRiding low with the spice of indiaThrough gibraltar, were rich men allIm the kid who thought wed someday be loversAlways held out that time would tellTime was talkingI guess I just wasnt listeningNo surprise, if you know me wellAnd as were walking toward the train stationTheres a whispering rainfallAcross the boulevard, you slip your hand in mineIn the distance the train callsIm the kid who has this habit of dreamingSometimes gets me in trouble tooBut the truth isI could no more stop dreamingThan I could make them all come trueThan I could make them all come true
