My little blond haired blue eyed boy One day you'll grow up and be distressed One day you'll grow up and reject everything I've set out for you My only dear long wasteful son One day you'll wonder what you've become One day all this could be yours if You only had the will to outlive Your mother and I Looking in, from the outside Couldn't see it was true Oh my dear, dark child I've been waiting for you Looking in, from the outside Couldn't see it was true You've been given too much time Oh my darling I've been waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you Although the news came as no surprise I always hoped I'd never have to bury a child
This is stunning, haunting and elaborate. So good. I got the chills at 5:43 - the right bend at the right time with the right tone. Like Jim Carrey once said: b-e-a-utiful!
What a song. It is used to great effect in Wild Wild Country!
That weeping guitar solo was crazy, matched the song spirit perfectly
I can't write a comment good enough to say how good that just was.
So underrated, his voice is cosmic
the instrumental part was beautiful, that band f'n rocks
My little blond haired blue eyed boy
One day you'll grow up and be distressed
One day you'll grow up and reject everything
I've set out for you
My only dear long wasteful son
One day you'll wonder what you've become
One day all this could be yours if
You only had the will to outlive
Your mother and I
Looking in, from the outside
Couldn't see it was true
Oh my dear, dark child
I've been waiting for you
Looking in, from the outside
Couldn't see it was true
You've been given too much time
Oh my darling
I've been waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Although the news came as no surprise
I always hoped I'd never have to bury a child
He could easily top the international charts in the 1990s or 2000s!
That guy on slide guitar is great. Plays appropriate and interesting pieces without trying to dominate. Love it.
MW gives me a bit of hope for the future of music. I wish there were more like him.
Legend has it Marlon never came back
This is so amazing and sadly underrated...
Yeah only 12k views seems way low for this lottle gem.
Great music, wrong decade. He could easily top the charts in the 1990s or 2000s.
The voice of Marlon together with this fantastic band send them old shivers down my spine
The instrumental's in the last couple of minutes are addicting and heavenly!
Brilliant song! Would have loved to be at that show.
Best song. On repeat
Awesome performance. Beautiful and haunting.
