Waldrandlichter Lyrics in English Clueso

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Waldrandlichter by Clueso from German to English.
Er ist noch ein kleiner Junge
He's still a little boy
Seine Neugier gibt ihm halt
His curiosity keeps him going
Er trug sein Herz nie auf der Zunge
He never wore his heart on his sleeve
Das Elternhaus stand vor dem Wald
The family home stood before the forest
Eines Tages lief er dahinter
One day he ran behind it
Dorthin, wo die hohen Bäume stehen
To where the tall trees stand
Doch sie bekam ihn in die Finger
But she got her hands on him
Und sofort flossen die Tränen
And immediately the tears flowed
Am Mittagstisch da schaute sein Vater immer streng
At the lunch table his father always looked sternly
Auf Verstecke, die er sich baute
At the hideouts he built
Bald wurde es allen zu eng
Soon it got too confining for everyone
Seine Alten schickten ihn auf so 'n feines Internat
His folks sent him to some fancy boarding school
Sollen die ihn doch erziehen
Let them be the ones to raise him
Er war nur zwei Wochen da
He was only there for two weeks
Denn er wollte immer dahin
Because he always wanted to go
Wo nicht erlaubt war hinzugehen
Where he wasn't allowed to go
Und als er gehen sollte, ging er
And when he was supposed to go, he went
Ohne sich umzudrehen
Without looking back
Und er baut sich eine Hütte
And he builds himself a cabin
Dort wo der Wald wie Brandung rauscht
Where the forest roars like surf
Er stellt sich vor, das Feld wäre das Meer
He imagines the field was the sea
Und er fährt hinaus
And he sails out
Mit den Jahren wurde es ruhiger
Over the years things got quieter
Im Mehrfamilienhaus
In the apartment building
Die Tage waren wie Glas
The days were like glass
Viel zu einfach zu durchschauen
Way too easy to see through
Bald waren im Netz der Kleinstadt
Soon in the small town's network
Alle Wege abgefahren
All paths had been traveled
Und nach 'nem viel zu langen Winter
And after a way too long winter
Regnet es im April so warm
It rains so warmly in April
Da lief er raus aus seinem Zimmer
Then he ran out of his room
Um kurz am Horizont nachzusehen
To take a quick look at the horizon
Er stand dort wo die Straßen flimmern
He stood there where the streets shimmer
Dann hat man ihn nicht mehr gesehen
Then he was never seen again
