Child Lyrics

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e67580-the_maccabees~child_lyrics.html ]
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
