Lyrics Eagle Eye Cherry

Eagle Eye Cherry

Conversation

Conversation with the child

Who once believed in you

How does one explain to him

What it is you do

He says daddy daddy please

Tell me it's not true

What all the people are saying

Saying about you

There comes a time when one must face

The life that you have led

That is a hard thing to do

When lies is all that has been said

And the blameless eyes of an innocent youth

Is begging for you to tell the truth

It's such a hard way to learn

Hard way to learn, got to learn

Moment of truth will hurt for life

Don't need to tell you that ain't right

So come now little boy don't you cry

'Cause the child in you is still alive

Conversation with the child

Who once believed in you

How does one explain to him

What it is you do

He says daddy daddy please

Tell me it's not true

What all the people are saying

Saying about you

There comes a time in this child's life

When the boy becomes a man

So many things from his past

He now can understand

Like all the times when dad would leave

And be gone for so long

And he thought everything was all right

He thought everything was all right

Boy, got to learn

Moment of truth will hurt for life

Don't need to tell you that ain't right

So come now little boy don't you cry

'Cause the child in you is still alive

Moment of truth will hurt for life

Don't need to tell you that ain't right

So come now little boy don't you cry

'Cause the child in you is still alive

Child in you is still alive

Such a hard way to learn

Such a hard way to learn

Such a hard way to learn

Such a hard way to learn

Such a hard way to learn

Such a hard way to learn

Such a hard way to learn

Such a hard way to learn
