Difficult Child

Baby, I've been travelling so long

Searching for the things for which you ask,

Trying to make you think I could become

The things you want

Baby I've been working so hard

Scratching in the dirt and in the fire

Begging for the beautiful life

That you require

I know I'm like a difficult child

Screaming through the night

So, help me find the light

Without you I'm a broken down car

Rusting in the yard,

Still waiting for the part

Now finally I'm back in our road,

Crunching on the shingle in the drive,

Hungry for your love as I return,

But there's no sign

I know I'm like a difficult child

Screaming through the night

So, help me find the light

Without you I'm a broken down car

Rusting in the yard,

Still waiting for the part

I thought that you'd be waiting like a soldier's queen,

Gazing from your window, holding out for me

What a fool I've been again

I know I'm like a difficult child

Screaming through the night

So, help me find the light

Without you I'm a broken down car

Rusting in the yard,

Still waiting for the part
