Waiting For My Child Lyrics - Downtown Church - Patty Griffin

I was talking to a lady a few days ago 

And these are the words she said 

If you see my child somewhere 

As you journey here and there 

Tell him I'm waiting for my child to come home 

I am waiting and waiting for my child to come 

I'm waiting and waiting for my child to come 

If you can't come home 

Could you please send me a letter 

A letter would mean so much to me

Oh my child may be somewhere 

On his sick bed 

With no one there to rub his aching head 

Oh my child may be somewhere 

In some lonely jail 

With no one there to go his bail 

If I only knew what town my child was in 

I'll be there on that early morning train 

And no matter what's crime 

Lord you know that this child is mine 

That's why I'd be waiting for my child to come home 

I am waiting, waiting for my child to come 

I am waiting, waiting for my child to come 

If he can't come home 

Could he please send me a letter 

A letter would mean so much to me 

I am waiting, waiting 

I am waiting and waiting 

I am waiting for my child to come home
