Bill Callahan - Beautiful Child Lyrics

Bill Callahan Lyrics

"Beautiful Child"
(originally by Fleetwood Mac)

Beautiful child
Beautiful child
You are a beautiful child
And I am a fool once more

You fell in love when I was only ten
The years disappeared
Much has gone by since then
I bite my lip, can you send me away
You touch
I have no choice
I have to stay
I had to stay

Sleepless child
There is so little time
Your eyes say yes
But you don't say yes
Well, I wish that you were mine

You say it will be harder in the morning
I wait for you to say, just go
I'm not a child anymore

I'm not a child anymore
I'm tall enough
To reach for the stars
I'm old enough
To love you from afar
Too trusting, yes
But then women usually are

I'm not a child anymore
I'm not a child, oh no
I'm tall enough to reach for the stars
I will do as I'm told
Even if I never hold you again

Sleepless
Sleepless child
There is so little time
Sleepless child
There is so little time
