Wilds of Childhood

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I used to deal in romantic pleasure Now I trade in self censorship I used to deal in delicate phrasing Now I write what I think they want I have a very structured rose garden Weeds have no place in the order of things When discipline means everything And the mating dove is silenced But the occasional snail moves unfettered And the aphid moves in on its place One can never really change it, or change things I used to deal in fantasy and subterfuge Now I'm only fooling myself Wrapped in the eyes of a patient disciple Preaching the gospel according to lies But the occasional snail moves unfettered And the aphid moves in on its place One can never really change, really change things Or is it all just a matter of ageing? Conforming to patterns and noise How strong must one be before she cried Is freedom a product with strings? Just a product of strings Is freedom a product of strings? Just a product of strings Where are the wilds of childhood? The field of wheat so friendly The wilds of childhood And the pieces of my personality
