Too Young Too Wise

from Megaphona by Quiet Hounds

/

lyrics

Stand up, stand up, wake up, wake up,
so long sing for the day I wonder
Oh I want to make up, like a child
and run through the trees and cover
Pouring, ripping, all over
the eastern shore like a made up thunder
And its leaving, pelting me all over
I'm but a longing old timer...

I'm a ghost of your child
You in dreams of our wild
I can't help we grew up too fast
made ends meet with nothing to last
Go downtown and work for your meals
Grown up suits and taking down deals
Weren't we kids in this autumn air
Wanting more with nothing to bare

All the young souls, making like men
taking that load from the age old kin
All the young boys, marry up girls
taking a turn we never thought so early
Everyone told, never look back
living a wonder like a wooden soldier
All the young souls, kick and you shout
Hey did you wonder why your lights so dim.

Someone take me off of my guard
Make me play the wandering card
I can't help we grew up too fast
made ends meet with nothing to last
Go back home and pray for your soul
Burn your suit and make me feel whole
Weren't we kids in this autumn air
Wanting more with nothing to bear
