Roo Panes - Childhood

Every day's a childhood
Every day's a wild wood
Always learning, always yearning
Every day's a childhood

Sun in my eyes, spring in my nose
You asked what I remember most
Songs she sung by my cradle side
Father taught me to be kind
Before I learned the world was hard
Beneath the plum tree in the yard
Thinking first life blossoms and then it fruits
Thought, "Even earth tastes pretty good"

Mmh
Mmh

Whoever makes the summer bloom
When I grow up I want to be like you
I thought, "I love all the things you do
So when I grow up I want to be like you"
But you told me of the cuckoo bird
Who takes the song birds from their nests
And steals their tune before it's heard
Now I know that sums up life the best

Mmh
'Cause every day's a childhood
Oh, every day's a wild wood
Always learning, always yearning
Every day's a childhood

Trouble turns up at your door
Posts you heartbreak letters
The next thing you know you've realized
You've never been much better
But I remember what I love
I remember where I'm from
And I'll keep singing beauty's song
That is where my heart belongs

'Cause every day's a childhood
Every day's a wild wood
Always learning, always yearning
Every day's a childhood

When everything was all brand new
That innocence of childhood
Oh, the gentle spell that loved me well
Before the cuckoo rang the bell
Mmh
Mmh
Well, if love's the sun and truth's the rain
Mercy seasons growing pains
Well, things can leave an ugly stain
But every day I'm young again

'Cause every day's a childhood
Oh, every day's a wild wood
Always learning, always yearning
Every day's a childhood

Yeah, every day's a childhood
Oh, every day's a wild wood
Always learning, always yearning
Oh, every day's a childhood

Mmh
Mmh
Mhm
Mmh
