I remember her face

Every woman who had kissed his mouth

And I was left in this cold house

As a child, as a child

There’s a distance between us

Now I can see for miles and miles

I just never understood why

When your father broke you down

So what goes will come back around

As a child, as a child

If I am lonely you will call
