Child in Me Lyrics

Left you standing by the garden gate

Superman pyjamas and a teddy bear

You waved goodbye

Too late

'Won't you stay?' I heard you cry

'Things will work out with you and I'

I just walked away

Tears in my eyes

Tears in my eyes run away

'Run for your life' I hear them say

It's a lonely road

Lonely life

When you're standing in the rain

Trying to shelter from the pain

Left you standing by the side of the road

A beat-up rucksack and an old guitar

I just had to go

Had to grow

Brighter days up ahead

Road grows clear in my head

I can feel the light

Warm on my face

Years go by but not a day

When I don't think of you and sometimes pray

To see you again

Hear you again

See you standing by the garden gate

Child in me still waits

I hear you calling through the years

'Won't you come on home?'

Still I keep on running

Trying to find peace of mind

But I'm coming to you

I know I'll get through

Find my way back home

To the child in me

Still needs me

I'm coming home to you

Child in me, child in me
