Lyrics for Childhood's End? - Live in London

And it was morning And I found myself mourning for a childhood That I thought had disappeared I looked out the window And I saw a magpie in the rainbow The rain had gone, I'm not alone, I turned to the mirror I saw you The child, that once loved The child before they broke his heart Our hearts The heart that I believed was lost Hey you, surprised? More than surprised To find the answers to the questions Were always in your own eyes Do you realise that you give it on back to her? But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew So untrue For she's got to carry on with her life And you've got to carry on with yours So I see it's me I'm still the child Forever wild 'Cause the only thing misplaced was direction And I found direction There is no childhood's end There is no childhood's end For I'm your childhood's friend Won't you lead me on? Won't you lead me on? Lead us on
