lyrics

There comes the boy who would always dither
They say he is crazy, he wouldn't sit still
Learning all numbers, all words, all names, all rivers
The sun rays creep in and his eyes are piercing into the blue

Piercing the blue, piercing the blue, piercing the blue
Piercing the blue, piercing the blue, piercing the blue

When I was a child all the days seemed endless
We were climbing trees and hunting the daylight
Playing in the hayfield wearing a dandelion crown
No ticks could ever scare us, no spiders, no snakes

No need to frown, no need to frown, no need to frown
No need to frown, no need to frown, no need to frown

Trapped within walls he will learn to conjecture
Pondering over the weight of the world
Trapped within walls he is safe from all vermin, all harm
They say he is crazy, he wouldn't sit still

Just for a while, just for a while, just for a while
Just for a while, just for a while, just for a while

When I was a child all the nights seemed endless
Counting the stars in heaven just for fun
Playing with fire, catching fire flies
Jump in the lake, chased by the swans
Jump in the lake, chased by the swans

No need to frown, no need to frown, no need to frown
No need to frown, no need to frown, no need to frown

Otherworldly. I can't imagine where this came from because it's unlike anything else I've ever heard. Few artists achieve such a unique sound. millicow
