Murray McLauchlan - Disappearing

They'd shout at me when I was chasing rainbows
They'd shout at me for staring at the moon
Nothing came soon enough to satisfy me
The fun was always over all to soon
The child in me didn't know where the end was
The child in me didn't know things sometimes cost
The child in me had faith that there was some way
To find your way back home when you got lost

Little by little, I'm disappearing
Little by little, I'm learning fear
I'm stuck on the endless freeway going nowhere
Little by little, I disappear

They'd shout at me when they caught me dreaming
They'd shout at me when I climbed too high
Little drops of water were amazing
Just like the creatures in the clouds up in the sky
The child in me ran breathless down the hillside
The child in me always made up songs
The child in me could see somebody naked
And never think that anything was wrong

Little by little, I'm disappearing
Little by little, I'm learning fear
I'm stuck on the endless freeway going nowhere
Little by little, I disappear
