The Face of a Child

Time has flown so far so fast she never saw it go
eyes that hold tears of regret, memories that won't let go
and now here she is, you know she won't fall, no she won't fall
no matter how deep her feelings, how deep her feelings
and she cries every time she sees the face of a child, of a child

Dust has fallen so fine so thick covering every part
love has left her far behind with her lonely aching heart
and I, I don't think she knows how far she's travelled, how far she's travelled
she, she sees far ahead, the endless road, the aching spaces
and she cries every time she sees the face of a child, of a child

Once a long long time ago she made a grave mistake
she wanted a little child so much her body couldn't wait
and so reality set in, he didn't want it, he couldn't stand it
so with logic in her face she had to lose it, she had to make it go
and now she cries every time she sees the face of a child, of a child
