Peter Hammill - Child lyrics

I don't know quite what's happening And my eyes don't see too clear; All I know is I need you here If only to shield me from the mood of the world And hold me and say it doesn't matter; But I'm like a child whose dreams are shattered Crowding round me, images of broken thought Lines of my life now overgrown All I can feel is I'm so alone Without even your bright eyes to reach into my mind And say that in my life I've done right And I'm like a moonchild in the sunlight So cast your thoughts upon me, wherever you are That I may feel you close beside me And hold your hand, for you to guide me Through all these catacombs which freeze me with their touch; Unknowing, knowing so much, my mind cries out And I'm like a child when the light's out With a child's fear of the dark....
