Patty Griffin - Waiting For My Child lyrics

rate me

<br>

I was talking to a lady a few days ago<br>

And these are the words she said<br>

If you see my child somewhere<br>

As you journey here and there<br>

Tell him I'm waiting for my child to come home<br>

<br>

I am waiting and waiting for my child to come<br>

I'm waiting and waiting for my child to come<br>

If you can't come home<br>

Could you please send me a letter<br>

A letter would mean so much to me<br>

<br>

Oh my child may be somewhere<br>

On his sick bed<br>

With no one there to rub his aching head<br>

<br>

Oh my child may be somewhere<br>

In some lonely jail<br>

With no one there to go his bail<br>

If I only knew what town my child was in<br>

I'll be there on that early morning train<br>

And no matter what's crime<br>

Lord you know that this child is mine<br>

That’s why I'd be waiting for my child to come home<br>

<br>

I am waiting, waiting for my child to come<br>

I am waiting, waiting for my child to come<br>

If he can't come home<br>

Could he please send me a letter<br>

A letter would mean so much to me<br>

<br>

I am waiting, waiting<br>

I am waiting and waiting<br>

I am waiting for my child to come home <br>

<br>
