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
