Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I'm the kid who ran away with the circus

Now I'm wandering elephants

But I sometimes lie awake in the sawdust

dreaming high in the suit of light

Late at night in the empty big top on

I'm alone on the high wire

look he's working without a net this time

he's a real death defyer

I'm the kid who always looked out the windows

failing tests in geography

But I've seen things far beyond across the school yard

distance shorts of exotic lands

There's the spires of the turkish empire

six months sweet we made the land fall

riding low with the spices of India

Through Japan were rich in all

I'm the kid who who thought we'd someday be lovers

always held out that the time we tell

time was talking guess, I wasn't listening

No surprise if you know me well

as we are walking through toward the train station

there's a whispering rainfall

across the boulevard you slip your hand in mine

in the distance the train calls

I'm the kid who has the habit of dreaming

Sometimes gets me in trouble too

But the truth is I could stop no more from dreaming

then I could make them all come true
