[Verse 1]
I was just a child
Thinking childish thoughts
Laying in the streets
That watched me grow
Summer left and dark skies came
The nights were cold and the winds had changed
You wrapped me up in my warmest winter clothes
[Verse 2]
I was young and blind
To the wars that we were in
My mother held a shield across my chest
Time came along and told me
Nothing will be so easy again
And taught me how bittersweet the world can be
[Chorus]
Oh, one day when I'm old
With the past behind me
Will you take me back to the days
When I was young and free?
Oh, one day when I'm old
With the past behind me
I wanna lay down in the shade
Of the same old sycamore tree
I was just a child
Thinking childish thoughts
Laying in the streets
That watched me grow
Summer left and dark skies came
The nights were cold and the winds had changed
You wrapped me up in my warmest winter clothes
[Verse 2]
I was young and blind
To the wars that we were in
My mother held a shield across my chest
Time came along and told me
Nothing will be so easy again
And taught me how bittersweet the world can be
[Chorus]
Oh, one day when I'm old
With the past behind me
Will you take me back to the days
When I was young and free?
Oh, one day when I'm old
With the past behind me
I wanna lay down in the shade
Of the same old sycamore tree
