Childhood's End?

(fish / marillion)



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 heart, 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 realize 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 can do anything

And i'm still the child

'cos the only thing misplaced was direction

And i found direction

There is no childhood's end

There is no childhood's end

Cos' you are my childhood friend

Cos' you are my childhood friend

Oh lead me on



Hey you, you've survived

Now you've arrived, to be reborn in the shadow of the magpie

Now you realize, that you've got to get out of here

You've found the leading light of destiny, burning in the ashes of your memory

You want to change the world

You'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel

But that was looking backward

Now you've found the light



You, the child that once loved

The child before they broke his heart

Our heart, the heart that i believed was lost

So it's me i see, i can do anything

I'm still the child

'cos the only thing misplaced was direction, and i found direction

There is no childhood's end

There is no childhood's end

There is no childhood's end

I am your childhood friend

Oh, lead me on
