Childhood

[Chorus]

Everyday's a childhood

Everyday's a wild wood

Always learning, always yearning

Everyday's a childhood

[Verse 1]

Sun in my eyes, spring in my nose

You asked what I remember most

Songs she sung by my cradle side

Father taught me to be kind

Before I learned the world was hard

Beneath the plum tree in the yard

Thinking first life blossoms and then it fruits

Thought “Even earth tastes pretty good”

[Verse 2]

Whoever makes the summer bloom

When I grow up I want to be like you

I thought, “I love all thе things you do”

So when I grow up I want to be like you

But you told mе of the cuckoo bird

Who takes the song birds from their nests

And steals their tune before its heard

Now I know that sums up life the best

[Chorus]

Everyday's a childhood

Everyday's a wild wood

Always learning, always yearning

Everyday’s a childhood

[Verse 3]

Trouble turns up at your door

Posts you heart break letters

The next thing you know you’ve realised

You've never been much better

But I remember what I love

And I remember where I’m from

So I'll keep singing beauty’s song

That is where my heart belongs

[Chorus]

'Cause everyday's a childhood

Everyday's a wild wood

Always learning, always yearning

Everyday’s a childhood

[Verse 4]

When everything was all brand new

That innocence of childhood

Oh that gentle spell that loved me well

Before the cuckoo rang the bell

[Humming Interlude]

[Verse 5]

Well, if love's the sun, and truth's the rain

Then mercy seasons growing pains

Yea things can leave an ugly stain

But everyday I'm young again

[Chorus]

'Cause everyday's a childhood

Everyday's a wild wood

Always learning, always yearning

Everyday's a childhood

Everyday's a childhood

Everyday's a wild wood

Always learning, always yearning

Everyday's a childhood
