my heart is but a child ....

the sight of her binds me
and I can't look away
this silky strand
I can't tear away

It's been years since
I've turned grey
yet the color of youth
refuses to fade away

Oh! and now my heart
beats faster
my face is losing its color
I fear those lonely nights
my heart is but a child

my heart is but a child
Innocent but naive
my heart is but a child

the sight of her binds me
and I can't look away
this silky strand
I can't tear away

It's been years since
I've turned grey
yet the color of youth
refuses to fade away

who knew I'd given shelter
to such a roguish heart
forever I imagined it would be
as virtuous as me

Oh! and it pulls at me
It makes such a racket
it gives undue importance
to trivial things
nothing's more devious
than the heart

someone stop me
someone hold me
or else at this age
I will be deceived
and now I fear I'll
fall in love

my heart is but a child

my heart is but a child
Innocent but naive
my heart is but a child.
