Childhoods End Lyrics

    (fish / marillion)

    And it was morning
    And i found myself mourning, for a childhood that i thought had disappeared
    I looked out the window
    And i saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had gone i'm not alone
    I turned to the mirror, i saw you, the child, that once loved
    The child before they broke his heart
    Our heart, the heart that i believed was lost

    Hey you, surprised?
    More than surprised, to find the answers to the questions, were always in your own eyes
    Do you realize that you give it on back to her?
    But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew
    So untrue
    For she's got to carry on with her life, and you've got to carry on with yours

    So i see it's me, i can do anything
    And i'm still the child
    'cos the only thing misplaced was direction
    And i found direction
    There is no childhood's end
    There is no childhood's end
    Cos' you are my childhood friend
    Cos' you are my childhood friend
    Oh lead me on

    Hey you, you've survived
    Now you've arrived, to be reborn in the shadow of the magpie
    Now you realize, that you've got to get out of here
    You've found the leading light of destiny, burning in the ashes of your memory
    You want to change the world
    You'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel
    But that was looking backward
    Now you've found the light

    You, the child that once loved
    The child before they broke his heart
    Our heart, the heart that i believed was lost
    So it's me i see, i can do anything
    I'm still the child
    'cos the only thing misplaced was direction, and i found direction
    There is no childhood's end
    There is no childhood's end
    There is no childhood's end
    I am your childhood friend
    Oh, lead me on
