Kid

Kid
What changed your mood?
You've gone all sad, so I feel sad too
I think I know some things you never outgrow
You think it's wrong, I can tell you do
How can I explain, you don't want me to
Kid
My only kid
Look so small, got so quiet
I know you know what I'm about, I won't deny it
But you forgave what you don't understand
You turned your head, you dropped my hand
All my sorrow
All my blues
All my sorrow
Shut the light, go away
Full of grace, you cover your face
Kid
Precious kid
Your eyes are blue but you won't cry
I know, angry tears are too dear
You won't let them go
