Primary - The Cure

The innocence of sleeping children

Dressed in white and slowly dreaming

Stops all time

I slow my steps and start to blur

So many years have filled my heart

I never thought I’d say those words

The further we go and older we grow

The more we know the less we show

The further we go and older we grow

The more we know the less we show

The very first time I saw your face

I thought of a song and quickly changed the tune

The very first time I touched your skin

I thought of a story and rushed to reach the end too soon

Oh, remember

Oh, please don’t change

So the fall came, thirteen years

A shiny ring and how I could forget your name

The air no longer in my throat

Another perfect lie is choked

But it always feels the same

So they close together

Dressed in red and yellow

Innocent forever

Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms still dream

The further we go and older we grow

The more we know the less we show

The further we go and older we grow

The more we know the less we show
