Crazy Arms
Hem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through fields of disobey
Wandering, wandering
Wanting it all
A curious soul astray
As a child my heart ran wild
Through fields of disobey
And longing to fall
A curious soul astray
I ran with a passionate story
I ran for the wisdom and glory
Away, away I ran
As a child my dreams ran wild
Through fields of disobey
Wandering, wandering
Wanting it all
A curious soul astray
I ran with a passionate story
I ran for the wisdom and glory
Away, away I ran
As a child my dreams ran wild
Through fields of disobey
Wandering, wandering
Wanting it all
A curious soul astray
As a child my dreams ran wild
Through fields of disobey
Wandering, wandering, wanting it all
A curious soul astray
A curious soul astray
