I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks
So what, there's nothing left to do
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix
As if what I thought mattered much to youAnd you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand, it's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is overSunday mornin' in the New York Times
I read you died last night
It said, you were smilin' when you blew your mind
And the note you left behind saidYou were always my friend from Childhood's End
Seems like forever and ever
Yeah, you won't have to pretend, it's near the end
You won't ever be a rock and rollerYeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
But never, the dream is overYou were just like me
I was just like you
For eternity I'll think of youYeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand, it's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is overYeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand, it's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is overYeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand, it's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is overYeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand, it's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
