deep within my memory where the grass grows to my knees where sparrows sing and all creation speaks to me where clouds will rain in noonday sky 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 shes 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 cant quite remember when its a game of hide and seeking so tell me whered 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 shes 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 youve been away awhile oh but i will find you free from all guile beautifully wild long lost child
