MARILLION - Childhood's End lyrics

rate me

(fish / marillion)<br><br>And it was morning<br>And I found myself mourning, for a childhood that I thought had disappeared<br>I looked out the window<br>And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had gone I'm not alone<br>I turned to the mirror, I saw you, the child, that once loved<br>The child before they broke his heart<br>Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost<br><br>Hey you, surprised? <br>More than surprised, to find the answers to the questions, were always in your own eyes<br>Do you realize that you give it on back to her? <br>But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew<br>So untrue<br>For she's got to carry on with her life, and you've got to carry on with yours<br><br>So I see it's me, I can do anything<br>And I'm still the child<br>'cos the only thing misplaced was direction<br>And I found direction<br>There is no childhood's end<br>There is no childhood's end<br>Cos' you are my childhood friend<br>Cos' you are my childhood friend<br>Oh lead me on<br><br>Hey you, you've survived<br>Now you've arrived, to be reborn in the shadow of the magpie<br>Now you realize, that you've got to get out of here<br>You've found the leading light of destiny, burning in the ashes of your memory<br>You want to change the world<br>You'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel<br>But that was looking backward<br>Now you've found the light<br><br>You, the child that once loved<br>The child before they broke his heart<br>Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost<br>So it's me I see, I can do anything<br>I'm still the child<br>'cos the only thing misplaced was direction, and I found direction<br>There is no childhood's end<br>There is no childhood's end<br>There is no childhood's end<br>I am your childhood friend<br>Oh, lead me on
