Childhood - Roo Panes

Lyrics by：Roo Panes

Composed by：Roo Panes

Every day's a childhood

Every day's a wild wood

Always learning always yearning

Every day's a childhood

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

Mmh

Mmh

Whoever makes the Summer bloom

When I grow up I want to be like you

I thought I love all the things you do

So when I grow up I want to be like you

But you told me of the cuckoo bird

Who takes the song birds from their nests

And steals their tune before it's heard

Now I know that sums up life the best

Mmh

'Cause every day's a childhood

Oh every day's a wild wood

Always learning always yearning

Every day's a childhood

Trouble turns up at your door

Posts you heartbreak letters

The next thing you know you've realized

You've never been much better

But I remember what I love

I remember where I'm from

And I'll keep singing beauty's song

That is where my heart belongs

'Cause every day's a childhood

Every day's a wild wood

Always learning always yearning

Every day's a childhood

When everything was all brand new

That innocence of childhood

Oh the gentle spell that loved me well

Before the cuckoo rang the bell

Mmh

Mmh

Well if love's the sun and truth's the rain

Mercy seasons growing pains

Well things can leave an ugly stain

But every day I'm young again

'Cause every day's a childhood

Oh every day's a wild wood

Always learning always yearning

Every day's a childhood

Yeah every day's a childhood

Oh every day's a wild wood

Always learning always yearning

Oh every day's a childhood

Mmh

Mmh

Mhm

Mmh
