Lyrics:
Things aren't quite as they seemInside my domainYou can't know about everythingOnly pleasure and painYou wonder why I come hereWith head to my handsWhere else can I be curedAnd the king of your mansionA thorn in your sideA child to protectThat claims he's freeJust around the cornerHalf a mile to heavenStrong enough to hold youStarved for some affectionDarling, come quicklyCome ease my mindFor my prayers have not been answeredIn a long timeI've already made my bedLike it or notAs long as there's no regretsI'll be here when the ride stopsThese comforts to meAnd these crosses to bearWith which we liveJust around the cornerHalf a mile to heavenStrong enough to hold youStarved for some affectionBaby, I can't drag you into this messI'm the thorn in your sideAnd the child to protectAnd I'm just around the conerHalf a mile to heaven, ohOh, Strong enough to hold youStarved for some affectionDarling, come quicklyCome ease my worried mindFor my prayers have not been answeredIn a long timeIn a long time
