Robert Plant - When I Was a Child lyrics

rate me

I was reaching for the future

Slowly floating in the blue

When I was a boy

I dreamed a dream of you

I danced upon the tree-top

I drifted with the stream

When I was a child

I held you in my dreams

Once I was a soldier

In my castle strong

Oh, I stood so tall then

I could do no wrong

Innocence and slumber

When I was a boy

I was walking with a stranger

He left without a trace

When I was a boy

I slept at heaven's gate

Once I was a soldier [etc repeated]

Once I was a soldier [etc repeated]
