Childhood often seemed a pain to me |
| [00:07.78] |
So hard waiting to be grown |
| [00:12.59] |
Childhood climbed up in a white oak tree |
| [00:16.87] |
I blinked once and it was gone |
| [00:21.93] |
Airplane flying across the midnight sky |
| [00:25.98] |
His tiny lights blinked off and on |
| [00:30.49] |
I watched him move across the moon on high |
| [00:34.99] |
I blinked once and it was gone |
| [00:39.14] |
Gone gone yeah |
| [00:44.06] |
I blinked once and it was gone |
| [00:48.63] |
A girl I'd met was all I cared for friends |
| [00:53.08] |
I called her my very own |
| [00:57.63] |
We went down to hear the band begin |
| [01:02.14] |
I blinked once and she was gone |
| [01:06.31] |
Gone gone yeah |
| [01:11.24] |
I blinked once and she was gone |
| [01:15.57] |
Gone gone gone |
| [01:20.31] |
I blinked once and it was gone |
| [01:24.81] |
The nineteen seventies was ten long years |
| [01:29.32] |
Was ten long years to sing a song |
| [01:33.99] |
It kicked off madly with a new year's cheer |
| [01:38.31] |
I blinked once and it was gone |
| [01:43.41] |
Gone gone gone |
| [02:03.95] |
Now old man's talking about a gun he'd shot |
| [02:07.83] |
And he weren't much more than skin and bone |
| [02:12.37] |
Lying there breathing on this worn out cot |
| [02:16.83] |
I blinked once and he was gone |
| [02:21.32] |
Gone gone gone |
| [02:25.92] |
I blinked once and he was gone |
| [02:30.09] |
Gone gone yeah |
| [02:35.17] |
I blinked once and he was gone |
| [02:37.48] |
Come on |
| [02:39.10] |
Gone gone gone |
| [02:44.14] |
I blinked once and he was gone |
| [02:48.23] |
Gone gone yeah |
| [02:52.94] |
I blinked once and he was gone |
| [02:56.95] |
Gone gone yeah |
| [03:02.25] |
I blinked once and he was gone |
| [03:06.49] |
Gone gone yeah |
| [03:11.21] |
I blinked once and he was gone |
