Child

The voices in my head are shadows, shadows She comes to me, to tell me what they're after Says it ain't the end boy but you best be careful, careful Might catch your tail end in a circle, circle The ocean how she moves in ripples, ripples In flashing lights I swear she was an old film Then the color bleeds and she becomes an angel, angel, hmm Calls out to me like a siren to a scoundrel I say come on child, and I say come on child The blanket where she hides by virgin lights Look to the sea where the cotton hits the turnpike Staring at her needs but I don't have the words right, words right now If up to me might make her turn right, turn right Lost another one but she still smiles, smiles Black lovin' eyes and a stare that sees for miles Says she wants to be, oh wants to stay a child, child now And wonders why we ever ever have to die And I say come on child and I say come on child Just a touch I'm gonna carry, carry Another time where our palm shared the same line The accent of a kiss whispers we're married, married now It's either love or just the sun in my eyes and I say come on child And I say come on child Love love love love love --- Child - Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
