Dear Child (I've Been Dying to Reach You) - Anthony Green

Dear child, they’re asking us to move

I watched her taking off her shoes

(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 setting up

I’ve been trying to reach you, but my extention chord

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 you’re chance)

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 setting up

I’ve been trying to reach you but your extension chord

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 trying now

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 off

its flashing off

flashing off

I’ve been trying to reach your but your extension cord

wouldn’t reach that far

(wouldn't Reach that far)

(Reach that far)
