Dark Child

My little blonde haired, blue eyed boy

One day you'll grow up and be distressed

One day you'll grow up and reject everything

I've set out for you

My only dear, long wasteful son

One day you'll wonder what you've become

One day all this could be yours

If you only had the will

To outlive your mother and I

Looking in from the outside

Couldn't see it was true

Oh, my dear, dark child

I've been waiting for you

Looking in from the outside

Couldn't see it was true

You've been given too much time

Oh, my darling

I've been waiting for you

Waiting for you

Waiting for you

Waiting for you

Although the news came as no surprise

I always hoped I'd never have to bury a child
