Just a lad of seven
Sitting
next to the street
Just a lad hoping
for joy
listening to his heartbeat
Patience he has
as he waits
on the street
Dreaming of future
Listening
to his heartbeat
\"Come inside he\'s not coming!\"
Just a little
more time
I won\'t be deprived
Just a little
more time
I\'m sure he\'ll arrive
Something is wrong
he\'s delayed
I fear
Something is wrong
I\'m sure
he\'ll be here
\" Please come inside he\'s not going to come!\"
I\'ve waited
all day
into the evening
I\'ve watched
all the cars
and surely not leaving
I know that he\'ll come
at any
time
I know that he\'ll come
I\'ve committed
no crime
\"It\'s Dark Outside, please come in!\"
I reluctantly move
as I walk
towards the door
I reluctantly move
but it seems
such a chore
Now by the phone
I wait
for the ring
Now by the phone
I whisper
but sing
\'Love Me Dad\'
