When I was a child I dreamed like a child of wonder
                                                                           
with my back to the grass   my eyes to the sky to see
                                                    
                              
I believed in the stars   I knew they cast a spell that I was under
                                               
With my fingers in the dirt, I was part of the earth
                 
Every living thing was part of me
      
But it's gone
     
It's gone
     
It's gone
 
it's gone
                                                                          
I can't feel it                    I can't feel it    Must have gone away
                                                       
                     
out my back door    must have gone away out my back door
                                                                   
            
because it's gone
                                                   
        So I run into the street

                                                                          
And I'm shouting into the phone  asking everyone I meet
                                                                         

I say   "Have you seen it on my doorstep did you see it in my car?
Have you seen it in the alley?   Was it on the back of some guitar?
Is it sleeping in the hallway?  Does it cry all night alone?





                                                                            
Is it selling itself for money?  Does it want- does it want to come home?
                                                                       
I can't let it run away out my back door can't let it run away out my back
                                                    
door    Lord, if I look out there, if I look out there,  every day
I can't let it run away ,   I can't let it run away,   I can't let it run
away
Oh if I look out there every day
