Never as a child
Would you give this time of day
You would take it from the shadows

And you give it another name

But now it's all that's left

Now it's all that's left

And though it awful gentle takes you

And it awful slowly leaves
It's a weight I wouldn't wish upon
And I wish I wouldn't have to wait


But now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left

Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left


Never as a child
Never as a child
Now it's so vivid

Now it's so vivid
Now it's so vivid
Now it's so vivid


Given to the wild
Given to the wilder ways

While the ways of a child
Are whiled away, whiled away


Now it's all that's left
Now it's all that's left
