Make This Child a Man

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
