There's a place by the river in the back of my mind Daddy you showed me but back then I was blind Just give me directions I promise I'll go Please let me see 'cos I'm too young to know Let me see 'cos I'm too young to know I found what I searched for a warm august night In a dream in a desert I was high as a kite When I finally learned how to manage my states I pured out my heart on the buffalo tapes Oh those beautiful buffalo tapes So give me one by land Give me two if the sea Give me three if my cool friends are asking for me Tell them I have gone fishing And that no one knows where 'cos daddy they hate me when I am not there Oh they hate me when I am not there Oh the tip of my pen has run totally dry From hundreds of letters to you asking why They sent invitatons then hated my stay They're shooting my wings while I'm flying away They're shooting my wings away Now I'm happy that I've broken free Daddy is it all that I hope it will be Please let me see 'cos I'm too young to know Let me see 'cos I'm to young to know
