It's not time now to write some letter to whoever will read it
Yet I hope it will be you
Torn up inside her you won't find the door it's too late right now
And I believe you've something to do
It's been a long long time ever since you've tried
It's been a long long time to make this child a man
Got to get home you don't even have one 'cause your brain's one place
And you heart is far away
Had another vision sailin' through the mist lost her in the cold
Life's amazing not fair anyway
It's been a long long time ever since you've tried
It's been a long long night tryin' to make things right
It's been a long long time to make this child a man
Sittin' beside her you don't even notice she's wearing your earrings
She's got you in the palm of her hand
Where are you now? Where's your smile again? You've changed so bad
You're tired "Don't believe you'll understand"
It's been a long long time ever since you've tried
It's been a long long night tryin' to make things right
It's been a long long night please don't put up a fight
It's been a long long time to make this child a man
You come home her suitcase gone you know what you must do
Rush out bring your love back home
