dear child (i've been dying to reach you)

Singer:anthony green

dear child

they're asking us to move

i watched her taking off her shoes

i'm weary

i'm not quite rested yet

this could be obvious to you

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

now you've lost your chance

i've been patiently waiting

the indicator light is flashing on

now you've lost your chance

dear sleeper

you couldn't find a 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

i've been patiently waiting

the indicator light is 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

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.
