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
