Deep within my memory
Where the grass grows to my knees
Where sparrows sing, and all creation speaks to me.
Where clouds rain in noonday sky
With castles, kings, and queens
Where hopes and dreams, and angels' wings are common things
A long lost child falls behind
And now she is miles and miles from the present time
And just like the birds that fly across the sky
She's been away awhile
Oh, but I will find her, free from all guile
Beautifully wild
Long lost child
Across the Swanee River
And down in Golden Glen
I saw her face, but I can't quite remember when
It's a game of hide and seeking
So tell me, where'd she go?
Perhaps if I inquire, the Brothers Grimm may know?
Oh, a long lost child left behind
She must be miles and miles from the present time
And just like the birds that fly across the sky
She's been away awhile
Oh, but I will find her, free from all guile
Beautifully wild
Long lost child
Oh, long lost child left behind
You must be miles and miles from the present time
And just like the birds that fly across the sky
You've been away awhile
Oh, but I will find you, free from all guile
Beautifully wild
Long lost child
