Nils Lofgren - I Am A Child (Neil Young cover)



You know the story. Neil Young gives Nils a Martin guitar for some studio work and Nils makes an album of Neil covers with the guitar. This one struck me as nice. One of my Neil favs.

Lyrics
I am a child, I last a while
You can't conceive of the pleasure in my smile
You hold my hand, buff up my hair
It's lots of fun to have you there
I gave to you, now you give to me
I'd like to know what you've learned
The sky is blue and so is the sea
What is the color when black is burned?
What is the color?
You are a man, you understand
You pick me up and you lay me down again
You make the rules, you say what's fair
It's lots of fun to have you there
