Child lyrics

I don`t know quite what`s happening
and my eyes don`t see too clear;
all I know is I need you here,
if only to shield me from the mood of the world
and hold me and say it doesn`t matter....
but I`m like a child whose dreams are shattered,

Crowding round me: images of broken thought,
lines of my life now overgrown.
All I can feel is I`m so alone,
without even your bright eyes to reach into my mind
and say that in my life I`ve done right,
and I`m like a moonchild in the sunlight.

So cast your thoughts upon me, wherever you are,
that I may feel you close beside me
and hold your hand, for you to guide me
through all these catacombs which freeze me
with their touch;
unknowing, knowing so much, my mind cries out
and I`m like a child when the light`s out

With a child`s fear of the dark
