Like a child You always landed on your feet Running wild Paid caution, little mind Playing in the middle of the streets With all the time in the world A world so wide You could wander it for miles Going where you never been But now Deary, it's the middle of the night And how Shadows grow under the street lights in a Strange Town With strangers all around How can you be found if no one knows you in a Strange Town If you could fly Could you find your own way home Up so high Over that old rainbow But what about the great unknown You might find where the sidewalk ends Imagine your surprise To the land where the wild things are Little Lamb, so far away from home But now Deary, it's the middle of the night
And how Shadows grow under the street lights in a Strange Town With strangers all around How can you be found if no one knows you in a Strange Town But now Deary, it's the middle of the night And how Shadows grow under the street lights in a Strange Town With strangers all around How can you be found if no one knows you in a Strange Town Uh Oh (Now you've done it!) Oh Oh (Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!) Uh Oh Uh Oh (Ooh, look at me!) No! But now Deary, it's the middle of the night And how Shadows grow under the street lights in a Strange Town With strangers all around How can you be found if no one knows you in a Strange Town (Parallel Bible pa**age Luke 15:16)
