Peter, Paul and Mary - The kid

^GI'm the ^Dkid who ^Emran away ^Cwith the circus ^GNow I'm ^Dwandering ^Celep^Dhants ^GBut I ^Dsometimes ^Emlie awake in ^Cthe sawdust ^Gdreaming high ^Din the ^Csuit of ^Dlight

^EmLate at night in the ^Cempty big top on ^EmI'm alone on the ^Chigh wire ^Emlook he's working ^A7without a net this time ^Dhe's a real death ^Cdef^Dyer

^GI'm the ^Dkid who ^Emalways looked ^Cout the windows ^Gfailing ^Dtests in ^Cgeog^Draphy ^GBut I've ^Dseen things ^Emfar beyond across ^Cthe school yard ^Gdistance ^Dshorts of ^Cexotic ^Dlands

^EmThere's the spires ^Cof the turkish empire ^Emsix months sweet ^Cwe made the land fall ^Emriding low with the ^A7spices of India ^DThrough Japan were rich ^Cin ^Dall

^GI'm the ^Dkid who ^Emwho thought we'd ^Csomeday be lovers ^Galways held ^Dout that ^Cthe time ^Dwe tell ^Gtime was ^Dtalking ^Emguess, I ^Cwasn't listening ^GNo surprise ^Dif you ^Cknow me ^Dwell

^Emas we are walking through ^Ctoward the train station ^Emthere's a ^Cwhispering rainfall ^Emacross the boulevard ^A7you slip your hand in mine ^Din the distance the ^Ctrain ^Dcalls

^GI'm the ^Dkid who ^Emhas the habit ^Cof dreaming ^GSometimes ^Dgets me ^Cin trouble ^Dtoo ^GBut the ^Dtruth is ^EmI could stop ^Cno more from dreaming ^Gthen I could ^Dmake them ^Call come ^Dtrue
