Dear Child

On the surface of it
Not sure what that is
The words are not scratched
And the room lit
Maybe I should stay for a while
And maybe there's a chance we'll be stopped from the time
Until the next plane comes
And takes me away

Sometimes it's hard to get
Feels like it's catch or miss
And all the stories told
With all the love they know

Waiting for something
Not sure what that is
Wish for my thoughts
They may rest in peace
Just for this time
Might just spend my time in a foreign place
A ghost in the wall still keeps me awake
All through the night

Sometimes it's hard to get
Feels like it's catch or miss
And all the stories told
With all the love they know

Standing to sit here almost alone
Listening to records, still no one on the phone
Safe in song
Feel like I've waited, most time at seas
So sooner or later I'd earn my wings
And I'd find that way home

Sometimes it's hard to get
Feels like it's catch or miss
I see your innocence
And give you compliments
Sometimes it's hard to get
Feels like it's catch or miss
And all the stories told
With all the love they know
