Art Garfunkel - The Kid - Текст песни

I'm the kid who ran away with the circus 
Now I'm watering elephants 
But I sometimes lie awake in the sawdust 
Dreaming I'm in a suit of light 
Late at night in the empty big top I'm  
All alone on the high wire 
Look, he's working without a net this time 
He's a real death-defier 

I'm the kid who always looked out the window 
Failing test in geography 
But I've seen things far beyond just the schoolyard 
Distant shores of exotic lands 
There, the spires of the Turkish Empire 
It's six months since we made landfall 
Riding low with the spice of India 
Through Gibraltar, we're rich men all 

I'm the kid who thought we'd someday be lovers 
Always held out that time would tell 
But time was talking, I guess I just wasn't listening 
No surprise if you know me well 
And as we're walking toward the train station 
There's a whispering rainfall 
'Cross the boulevard you slip your hand in mine 
In the distance the train calls 

I'm the kid who has this habit of dreaming 
Sometimes gets me in trouble too 
But the truth is I could no more stop dreaming 
Than I could make them all come true.
