"Mindless Child Of Motherhood" lyrics

The Kinks Lyrics

"Mindless Child Of Motherhood"

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 bear 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
