Dear Child (I've Been Dying To Reach You)
Dear child, they're asking us to move
I watched her taking off her shoe
Let the shore tide take you in
Let the shore tide in
I'm weary, I'm not quite rested yet
This could be obvious to you
Let the shore tide take you in
Let the shore tide in
In this short time we've been treading air
I've been trying to reach you
But my extension cord wouldn't reach that far
Reach that far
I've been patiently waiting
The indicator light is flashing on
Flashing on
Dear sleeper, you could've had the better bed
I loved to watch the way you grew
We're out, we're out the door
We're out, we're out the door
In this short time we've been treading air
I've been trying to reach you
But your extension cord doesn't reach that far
Doesn't reach that far, reach that far
I've been patiently waiting
The indicator light is flashing on
It's flashing on, flashing on
In this coma, sleepless dancing
We've been treading air
I've been trying to reach you
But your extension cord wouldn't reach that far
Doesn't reach that far, reach that far
I've been desperately waiting
The indicator light is flashing on
It's flashing on, flashing on
I've been trying to reach you
But your extension cord wouldn't reach that far
Wouldn't reach that far, reach that far
Doesn't reach that far
