Children

[Verse 1]
I remember walking with holes in our shoes
I remember we weren't the kind to make an excuse
I remember thinking we would break all the rules

[Refrain]
Where are those children now? (Heh ha)
Where are those children now?

[Verse 2]
I remember hellfire and brimstone be damned
I remember trembling at the touch of your hand
Crossing the desert to the California sand

[Refrain]
Where are those children now? (Heh ha)
Where are those children now?

[Verse 3]
I remember angels who lent us their wings
Cigarettes and paperback poetry kings
Kicking up dust like we didn't need a thing

[Refrain]
Where are those children now? (Heh ha)
Where are those children now?

[Bridge]
Now the curtain calls and fails to fill me
I wander down the halls that used to thrill me
(Ha ha ha, ha ha ha)
(Ha ha ha, ha heh heh)

[Verse 4]
I remember singing "San Francisco Bay Blues"
I remember being happy just paying our dues
I remember thinking we had nothing to lose

[Refrain]
Where are those children now? (Heh ha)
Where are those children now? (Huh)
Where are those children now?
