Didn't I make you want to fall in love
Singing those twisted songs
So sweet they made you worry?
Didn't I make you want to take my hand
Take me to a land
Very duckdown and feathery?

I will never take you there
I will never take you there
I will never take you there
A child is waiting

Meanwhile in the desert of my soul
I watch the evening crawling in
I spent my adolescence parking cars
Waiting for friendships to begin

They will never find me there
They will never find me there
They will never find me there
A child is waiting, a child is waiting

A child is waiting for me to father her
A child is waiting for her to father me
A child is waiting

I know a woman who incarnates love
Or is she just a fantasy?
Can I make her want to take my hand?
Oh well, that's up to me

Am I getting anywhere?
Am I getting anywhere?
Am I getting anywhere?
A child is waiting
