The Kid (Lifelines Live Version)-Peter, Paul & Mary

[00:22.90]I'm the kid who ran away with the circus [00:32.69]Now I'm watering elephants [00:43.18]But I sometimes lie awake in the sawdust [00:53.73]Dreaming I'm in a suit of light [01:04.27]Late at night in the empty big top [01:08.76]I'm all alone on the high wire [01:15.13]Look he's working without a net this time [01:20.55]He's a real death defier [01:26.10]I'm the kid who always looked out the window [01:37.23]Failing tests in geography [01:47.59]But I've seen things far beyond just the schoolyard [01:58.09]Distant shores of exotic lands [02:08.82]They're the spires of the Turkish Empire's [02:13.64]Six months since we made landfall [02:19.62]Riding low with the spice of India [02:24.99]Through Gibraltar we're rich men all [02:34.53] [02:51.95]I'm the kid who thought we'd someday be lovers [03:02.53]Always held out that time would tell [03:11.18] [03:12.74]Time was talking I guess I just wasn't listening [03:23.68]No surprise if you know me well [03:34.14]As we're walking toward the train station [03:39.45]There's a whispering rainfall [03:45.00]Across the boulevard you slip your hand in mine [03:50.55]In the distance the train calls [03:55.98]I'm the kid who has this habit of dreaming [04:06.92]Sometimes gets me in trouble too [04:17.65]But the truth is I could no more stop dreaming [04:27.85] [04:29.10]Than I could make them all come true [04:37.40] [04:47.45]Than I could make them all come true
