The Maccabees

Never as a child
Would you give this time of day
You would take it from the shadows
And you give it another name
But now itââ?¬â?¢s all thatââ?¬â?¢s left
And though it awful gentle takes you
And it awful slowly leaves
Itââ?¬â?¢s a weight I wouldnââ?¬â?¢t wish upon
And I wish I wouldnââ?¬â?¢t have to wait
Now itââ?¬â?¢s all thatââ?¬â?¢s left
Never as a child
Now itââ?¬â?¢s so vivid
Given to the wild
