Takin' My Time Lyrics - 1973

[ Buy Takin' My Time ]

It's such a clever innocence with which you do your sorcery
as if somehow the years just bow and let that young boy go free
I thought I knew where I was going until I heard your laughter flowing
and came upon the wisdom in your eyes...surprise.

I spent my whole life runnin' round, chasing songs from town to town
thinking I'd be free so long as I never let love slow me down
So lonely and so wild, until you turned and smiled,
by now I should have long been gone but here I am still looking on
as if I didn't know which way to run.

It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me
as if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be.
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled.
I thought that I was free but I'm just one more prisoner of time
alone within the boundaries of my mind.

I thought I was a child.
