lyrics

Mostly Like Children
Words and music by Steven Grossman

Alone with the TV
alone in the house
With make believe coffee
in an oversized blouse
Giggling in the mirror
with a red runny nose
Is a daydreaming child in grown-up clothes
There’s a daydreaming child in grown-up clothes. Grown-up clothes

Alone with the records
alone in a room
With a make-believe audience
and a microphone broom
Taking bows from the sofa in socks without toes
is a child with visions in grown-up clothes
There’s a child with visions in grown-up clothes. Grown-up clothes

Alone by the window
alone in a sheet
In make believe love-light
and a mysterious heat
Heady with adventure
and for a friend that often shows
Dressed in childlike wonder and grown-up clothes
Dressed in childlike wonder and grown-up clothes
Well I believe that we are mostly like these children in grown-up clothes.
