Ian Bruce - Child On The Green

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “CHILD ON THE GREEN (Ian M. Bruce) “Child on the green, what’s that you do?“ “I’m turning daisies to chains and Mum they’re for you!“ “But Mum, I’m just playing so why do you cry? My flowers are saying, ’I’m glad you came by’.“ CHORUS: “Child as you grow questions will flow. The more that you ask, the more you will know. But ask of emotion, it’s useless to try. Finding its reason by asking me, ’Why?’“ “Child you are late. Where have you been? Your dinner is burned and your clothes are unclean.“ I wasn’t surprised to find she was wild, But puzzled some when she suddenly smiled. “Child you are lost. Sometimes we act strange. You must understand, we can suddenly change. It’s just human nature and when you are grown, You’ll sometimes seem strange to a child of your own.“ She spoke and I listened, then went off to bed. But I always remembered the words she had said. It’s been twenty years and I’ve a son on my knee. I’ve just told my son what my mum told to me. from Too Far From She, released January 1, 1989“
