I've been traveling a long time   To be just where you are   In dreams I have seen you   But you are so very far      How long must I travel on   To be just where you are?   How long must I travel on   To be just where you are?      I was your friend, I was a fool   I feel for you though we're far apart   I see your face, lost without trace   I see your mind, just an empty space      Mindless child of motherhood   You have lost the thing that's good   Mindless child of motherhood   You have lost the thing that's good      I know that it's not fair   To bare a bastard son   But why do you hide there?   When we could have shared a love?      How long must I travel on   To be just where you are?   How long must I travel on   To be just where you are?      I was your friend, I was a fool   I feel for you though we're far apart   I see your face, lost without trace   I see your mind, just an empty space      Mindless child of motherhood   You have lost the thing that's good   Mindless child of motherhood   You have lost the thing that's good to me
