Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros - Child

Lyrics

The voices in my head are shadows, shadows

She comes to me, to tell me what they're after

Says it ain't the end boy but you best be careful, careful

Might catch your tail end in a circle, circle

The ocean how she moves in ripples, ripples

In flashing lights I swear she wore old film then the color bleeds and she

Becomes an angel, angel, hm

Calls out to me like a siren to a scoundrel

I say come on child, and I say come on child

Blanket where she hides my virgin lights

Look to the sea where the cotton hits the turnpike

Staring at your knees but I don't have the words right, words right now

If up to me my maker turned right, turned right

Lost another one but she still smiles, smiles

Black lava rocks and instead she sees for miles says she wants, oh wants to

Stay a child, child right now

And wonders why we ever ever have to die

And I say come on child and I say come on child

Just a touch I'm gonna carry, carry

Another time where I probably shared the same life

The accent of a kiss whispers we're married, married now

It's either love or just the sun in my eyes and I say come on child

And I say come on child

Love love love love love
