1
Aunt Clara kept her bible right next to the phone
2
In case she needed a quote while she talked to someone
3
In my memory she smiles while the blessings said
4
And visions of freeze tag dance in my head
5
She says I'll grow up big if I eat all my roast
6
That I'll still believe in heaven but I won't believe in ghosts anymore
7
I'll put away childish things, I'll put away childish things
8
Every other weekend, age of thirteen
9
With my fishing pole and my feelings string
10
Riding back home on the Trailways bus
11
I looked out the window till I saw too much
12
And I called my parents by their own first names
13
I played in the alley but I didn't play the game anymore
14
I put away childish things, I put away childish things
15
The wolves howl all night long
16
They won't stop and they won't go home
17
Beneath my window they run
18
Probably it'll be alright
19
If I keep it all locked up tight
20
And wait till daylight comes
21
Now my boy goes like a house on fire
22
He'll never burn out and he'll never retire
23
And I remember when I used to think like that
24
When I was young and the world was flat
25
But I'm forty some years old now and man I don't care
26
All I won't now is just a comfortable chair
27
And to sell all my stock and live on the coast
28
I don't believe in heaven but I still believe in ghosts
29
I've put away childish things, I've put away childish things
30
I've put away childish things, I've put away childish things
31
The wolves howl all night long
32
They won't stop and they won't go home
33
Beneath my window they run
34
Probably it'll be alright
35
If I keep it all locked up tight
36
And wait till daylight comes
37
If I wait till daylight comes
