For Lucy
Oh, Lucy, what do you see?
With your head all empty
And your heart all free
Running round in circles
Or with those legs all splayed
What do you think about?
What do you do all day?
Oh, Lucy, what do you say?
Why hang around when we can
Go and play?
Now you're gawking at the world
From your two-foot tower
I wonder what you're dreaming of
I think of who you'll be someday
Ooooh, you're a wild child
The best I can ever hope to find
Ooooh, you're a wild child
But more than that
Much more than that, you're mine
Oh, Lucy, I hear your call
You're running back through meadows
Cause you ran into a wall
Now I'm patching up your head
And I've got tears on my arm
As much as I wish it
There's no other way to learn
Oh, Lucy, you make your mumma proud
You sing just like an angel
And your voice is getting loud
You won't drink tea and coffee
Dress up or make pretend
My dear, you're a strange one
But that's how we like it here
Ooooh, you're a wild child
The best I can ever hope to find
Ooooh, you're a wild child
But more than that
Much more than that, you're mine
Oh, Lucy, they broke your heart
You know what I would do to them
But I don't know where to start
So we'll sit and watch sad movies
And you'll cry a little more
I know that you'll get better
But I can't bear to see you this way
Oh Lucy, soon you'll be free
Your head will be full
Of all the things you're yet to see
You're crying like a baby
But you're smiling like a fool
Go on now girl I know that
You're gonna change the world
You're all we think about
So what will we do all day?
