Still a Child Lyrics


The day I was born
Your shadow fell across my mother's breast
When I opened my eyes
You colored my mindEvery move I make
Is by your desire
Every move I make
Is by your hand onlyNow, I'm still a child, now, I'm still a child
Now, I'm still a child, but I'm closer to deathCover me in roses
Gently touch me while I sleep
When I dream, I'll dream of drowning
In a pool of scented bloodNow, I'm still a child, now, I'm still a child
Now, I'm still a child, but I'm closer to deathYou said, "Take this, it's yours"
So I've kept it locked away
Now, you're curled up beneath me
In a pool of your own bloodNow, I'm still a child, now, I'm still a child
Now, I'm still a child, but I'm closer to deathI'll cover you in roses
I'll hold your hand against my breast
When I dream, I'll dream of drowning

In a pool of your sweet bloodNow, I'm still a child, now, I'm still a child
Now, I'm still a child, but I'm closer to death

Swans is a band from New York City, New York, United States, active from 1982 to 1997, reformed in 2010, led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. Marginally associated with the no wave scene at first, their original sound was slow and extremely heavy, with live performances that were often so brutal and physical that in a number of instances certain audience members were made ill, police were called and venues were shut down. This early physical sound is possibly best heard on the live album Public Castration Is a Good Idea.
