Dear Child - Søren Juul

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

May they rest in peace

Just for this time

Might just spend my time in a foreign space

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

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
