If I Ever Was a Child

Wilco

5

I′ve never been alone

Long enough to know

If I ever was a child

I was tied up like a boat

On a button like a coat

Set free for the wild

I'd jump to jolt my clumsy blood

While my white, green eyes

Cry like a window pane

Can my cold heart change

Even out of spite?

I saw behind my brain a haunted stain

It never fades

I hunt for the kind of pain I can take

And I cry like a window pane

Can my cold heart change

Over night?

So I won′t ever want to touch

Your heart too much

Or hold you too tight

I saw behind my brain a haunted stain

I'm never fade

I hunt for the kind of pain I can take

I never was alone

Long enough to know

If I ever was a child
