Like A Child Lyrics
Feels like time
We close the room
You're back in town
'Cause ya heard the news
I'll be gone
Turn to cough
Twist my arm
Call the girls
To nurse my charm
Yeah, I'm like a child
Stay awhile
We don't have long
We could talk for hours
'Til my strength is gone
Though I get so tired
I still get wired
My pulse is still
When the doctor's gone
I think of you
And then I know
What went wrong
I'm like a child
Close the windows in my room
It gets so cold at night
Stay at home here like you do
I've got the end in sight, yeah
Like a child
Yeah, you hold me
Like a child
We close the room
You're back in town
'Cause ya heard the news
Twist my arm
Call the girls
To nurse my charm
We don't have long
We could talk for hours
'Til my strength is gone
I still get wired
When the doctor's gone
I think of you
And then I know
What went wrong
It gets so cold at night
Stay at home here like you do
I've got the end in sight, yeah
Yeah, you hold me
Like a child

And the meaning is...???I love it!!But what does he mean??Was he immature in a lost relationship or what??
@crombiegirl00 It's about a dying person being visited in their hospital room by somebody who was important to them. Probably an old love, but almost certainly somebody who had become distant.

Having nursed many patients, it's apt to highlight how childlike people in severely declining health can be.

It's about a man who knows he's going to die, to answer that question
