i rode my bike to town today
wobbling down the path
i knew the kids would see me
i love it when they laugh

and i wish i were a camera
and i could slice time like a knife
seeing stories in the faces
and crystallizing life

wish i were a camera
i wish it all the time
it gives my eyes a reason
it gives my life a rhyme

i’d be a lens that could see souls
a shutter that never shuts
i’d have film that lasts forever
and i would live in huts

in the jungles of south america
like my father before the war
i’d find out where we came from
and what this life is for

and i wish i were a camera
i wish it all the time
it gives my eyes a reason
it gives my life a rhyme

and i wish i were a camera
i wish it all the time
it gives my eyes a reason
it gives my life a rhyme

i would climb right off this planet
on the clearest night of all
and photograph the future
when it finally comes to call

i would save up all these images
these instants in a box
and when i am old and lonely
they could cover up the clocks

and i wish i were a camera
i wish it all the time
it gives my eyes a reason
it gives my life a rhyme

i wish that i could shoot at night
and leave without a trace
and catch my lover’s sleeping smile
by the starlight on her face

but i think mostly that l’d see children
’cause they haven’t learned to hide
and they watch me on my bicycle
and laugh with me as i ride
