[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
How long must I travel on
To be just where you are?
How long must I travel on
To be just where you are?

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Mindless child of motherhood
You have lost the thing that's good
Mindless child of motherhood
You have lost the thing that's good

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
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?

[Refrain]
How long must I travel on
To be just where you are?
How long must I travel on
To be just where you are?

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Mindless child of motherhood
You have lost the thing that's good
Mindless child of motherhood
You have lost the thing that's good

[Post-Chorus]
To me
