Peter, Paul & Mary The kid Lyrics

I'm the kid who
Ran away with the circus
Now I'm watering
Elephants
But sometimes
Lie awake in the sawdust
Dreaming I'm
In a suit
Of light

Late at night in the
Empty big top I'm
All alone on the high wire
Look he's working without a net this time
He's a real death defier

I'm the kid who
Always looked out of the window
Failing tests
In geography
But I've seen things
Far beyond just the schoolyard
Distant shores
Of exotic lands

There're the spires of the Turkish Empire ss
Six months since we made landfall
Riding low with the
Spice of India
Through Gibraltar
We're rich men all

I'm the kid who
Thought we'd someday be lovers
Always held out
that time would tell
Time was talking
I guess I just wasn't listening
No surprise
If you know me well

And as we're walking toward the train station
There's a whispering rainfall
Across the boulevard
You slip your hand in mine
In the distance the train calls

I'm the kid who
Has this habit of dreaming
Sometimes gets me
In trouble too
But the truth is
I could no more stop dreaming
Then, I could
Make them all come true

Then, I could
Make them all come true
