Lyrics Childhood by Roo Panes

[Chorus]
Everyday's a childhood
Everyday's a wild wood
Always learning, always yearning
Everyday's a childhood

[Verse 1]
Sun in my eyes, spring in my nose
You asked what I remember most
Songs she sung by my cradle side
Father taught me to be kind

Before I learned the world was hard
Beneath the plum tree in the yard
Thinking first life blossoms and then it fruits
Thought “Even earth tastes pretty good”

[Verse 2]
Whoever makes the summer bloom
When I grow up I want to be like you
I thought, “I love all thе things you do”
So when I grow up I want to be like you

But you told mе of the cuckoo bird
Who takes the song birds from their nests
And steals their tune before its heard
Now I know that sums up life the best

[Chorus]
Everyday's a childhood
Everyday's a wild wood
Always learning, always yearning
Everyday’s a childhood

[Verse 3]
Trouble turns up at your door
Posts you heart break letters
The next thing you know you’ve realised
You've never been much better

But I remember what I love
And I remember where I’m from
So I'll keep singing beauty’s song
That is where my heart belongs

[Chorus]
'Cause everyday's a childhood
Everyday's a wild wood
Always learning, always yearning
Everyday’s a childhood

[Verse 4]
When everything was all brand new
That innocence of childhood
Oh that gentle spell that loved me well
Before the cuckoo rang the bell

[Humming Interlude]

[Verse 5]
Well, if love's the sun, and truth's the rain
Then mercy seasons growing pains
Yea things can leave an ugly stain
But everyday I'm young again

[Chorus]
'Cause everyday's a childhood
Everyday's a wild wood
Always learning, always yearning
Everyday's a childhood

Everyday's a childhood
Everyday's a wild wood
Always learning, always yearning
Everyday's a childhood
