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>
