[bad word] and talk of all the things we did today
Hear and laugh about our funny little way
While we have a few minutes to breathe
And I know that it's time you must leave

But darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute
If you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since you toddled
For the great relief of havin' you to talk to

And now a quarter of my life is almost past
I think [bad word] to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

My darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute
If you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since you toddled
For the great relief of havin' you to talk to

Go and beat your crazy head against the sky
Try and see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's so great to shoot the moon

My darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute
If you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since you toddled
For the great relief of havin' you to talk to

For the great relief of havin' you to talk to
For the great relief of havin' you to talk to
