Child Has Gone

Years have passed like centuries 
Through which I lived as in dream 
Futile quests and sweet delusions 
Till the day I realized 
Golden age's bygone 
Leaving just a memory 

Walked the path with such easiness 
Enjoyed naïve ecstasy 
Haven't seen the flowing sands of time 
Till the day I realized 
Golden age's bygone 
Leaving just a memory 

Must live by my own 
I just wish I've never grown 
Stop that clock and 
Take delight in total stagnation 
Child has gone 
Never to return
