Lyrics Childhoods End - Live at Columbiahalle, Berlin, Germany, 11/5/2015 - Fish

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 they loved 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 realise 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
You are my childhood friend
You are my childhood friend,
Lead me on, lead me on

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

You the child that once loved, the child before him broke his heart
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost

So I see it's me, 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

Lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on
