Child

Unreleased. Late 1960s.

Lyrics:
A small boy climbed into a world Raised three feet high above the ground And there together with his trusty one-eyed bear He stumbles and he starts to look around

Through the railings of his room Everything is fine and nothing's wrong With his eyes he sees the silence While outside the dark night is long

chorus:

Child, light of your parents Who guard your innocence Protect you while you're young Child, don't rush into things that you can't do Child, you can wait so long

(repeat chorus)

For he will climb into a world A great deal higher than his bed For there's no skipping ropes and toys For he'll use what we put in his head

(repeat chorus)

(repeat chorus)
