We Were Children Once
Stephin Merritt
[Children]
We were children once, I guess
Well we must have been something
After years in this darkness
We have turned into something less
Looking back, it's all a blur
But there must have been something
To be honest I'm not sure
I remember what children were
Did we have names
And faces?
Play games
Run races?
Did we die?
Does it matter?
Please don't touch us
We could shatter
Were we children? I don't know
Either way, can you save us
We've become as cold as snow
Maybe you could help us...go
