How it hurts Me to watch you
How it hurts Me to see
How you go on your own way
How you think you are free

But you're only a shadow
Of what you someday will be
When you wind down your mainspring
And turn your eyes back on Me

Though I know that day will be comin'
In the meantime it grieves
To see you wastin' your moments
Moments you'll never retrieve
Walkin' solo down the side streets
Reachin' out for fantasies
Tryin' to conquer all your loneliness
By givin' in to the disease

Child come home
Child come home...
Child come home
Child come home...
