Children Of My Mind Lyrics by Denny Doherty

Waiting for a Song

0

[Verse]
The painter who's been painting all his life
Ain't a rich man
He's got children and a wife
Still he keeps painting
Though he knows when he dies
He'll still be poor
But his paintings make his life mean so much more
[Chorus]
Won't somebody listen to my song
It won't take long
It won't take long
Won't somebody come and see the thing that makes me whole
Before the children of my mind
Become the orphans of my soul
[Verse]
The writer
Who's been writing oh so long
Ain't a rich man
No one ever sings his songs but he keeps writing
Songs he knows no ear will ever hear
Cause he feels that if he stops he'll disappear
[Chorus]
Won't somebody listen to my song
It won't take long
It won't take long
Won't somebody come and see the thing that makes me whole
Before the children of my mind
Become the orphans of my soul
Won't somebody listen to my song
It won't take long
No, it won't take long
Won't somebody listen to the things that make me whole
Before the children of my mind
Become the orphans of my soul
Now he sings
Won't somebody listen to my song
It won't take long
It won't take long
Won't somebody come and see the thing that makes me whole
Before the children of my mind
Become the orphans of my soul
