awesome stuff - being only a relative youngster this was the first time i got to see him, and he really kicked it out in the second half of the show. magic!

When this song was first released on a vinyl record, Charles John Quarto wrote a poem for Stephen and it was printed on the back cover of the record cover. If anyone still has the vinyl version in their collection, please post that poem here, I'd like to read it again. Thanks!

@indiebeacon A child grew up on strings

He is a kind lamb to lovers

And a fine kingdom of other things

Even though he is a turtle under these covers

[tombaker1222]

@indiebeacon A child grew out of every hotel That ever held him from his home Like a turtle hides a turtle in his poem So did this child grow out of his shell Still growing up on his strings Flowing from the pack but growing with them Some days he goes away with his rhythm But every night he comes back and he sings The same way he sang out in the south The same way that any shell disappears From a name famous for so many years He sang his fears out of his mouth

@indiebeacon more verses And as he grew in he grew out Angels praise the word both After he flew in he flew out To grow he had to with growth Even when it grew wild The child was growing even more Knowing that was what growing was for It takes a man to be a child And so he worked to play with his friends And they played to stay with him And so they stayed to play with him The family song that never ends

[tombaker1222]

@indiebeacon A child grew up on strings And was pulled through New Orleans He had to grow so he grew wings Although he was a turtle in blue jeans A child grew up on strings And he flew into an impression That was left after each session Just to reach through to the troupes And his shell songs were heard Because the wind is always acoustic Or the child grew into a bluebird Because he grew into his music
