Dear Child (I've Been Dying to Reach You)

Dear child, they're asking us to move
I watched her taking off her shoe
(Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
Unweary, I'm not quite rusty yet
This could be obvious to you
(Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
In this short time we've been setting up

I've been trying to reach you
But my extension cord wouldn't reach that far
(Reach that far)
I've been patiently waiting
The indicator light is flashing on
(Flashing on)

Dear sleeper, you could've had the better bed
I loved to watch the way you grew
We're out, we're out the door
We're out, we're out the door
In this short time we've been setting up

I've been trying to reach you
But your extension cord doesn't reach that far
(Doesn't reach that far)
(Reach that far)
I've been patiently waiting
the indicator light is flashing on
(It's flashing on)
(Flashing on)

In this coma, sleepless dancing
We've been trying now

I've been trying to reach you but
Your extension cord wouldn't reach that far
Doesn't reach that far
Reach that far
I've been desperately waiting
The indicator light is flashing on
It's flashing on
Flashing on

I've been trying to reach you
But your extension cord wouldn't reach that far
Wouldn't reach that far
Reach that far

(Doesn't reach that far)
