time passes slowly up here in the mountains,
we sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains,
catch the wild fishes that float through the stream,
time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.

once i had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin',
we sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin',
staring out the window to the stars high above,
time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.

ain't no reason to go in a wagon to town,
ain't no reason to go to the fair.
ain't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go down,
ain't no reason to go anywhere.

time passes slowly up here in the daylight,
we stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right,
like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day,
time passes slowly and fades away.

(Written on looking at little birds in a cage)

Now and then
you must long for your old nest
in the deep mountains--
I too have
memories of the past

~~and~~

If these sleeves
of my black robe
were only wider
I'd shelter all the people
in this up-and-down world.

~Ryokan

and a couple of quotes about 'child' taken from and best described in Secrets from Great Minds by John McMurphy....

A first encounter with new phenomenon exercises
immediately an impression upon the soul. This is the
experience of a child discovering the world, to whom every object is new.
~Wassily Kandinsky

Sit down before a fact like a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion...or you shall learn nothing.
~Thomas Huxley, Letter to Charles Kingsley

The sage sees and hears no more than an infant sees and hears.
~Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
