Lyrics

A small boy waits in the darkening room

A young boy is waiting in a darkening room.

Peering out into the gathering gloom

He is looking out into the gathering darkness.

Nose pressed up against the pane

His nose is pressed against the window pane.

Staring out at the driving rain

He is staring at the rain outside.

He's five years old, his father's gone

The boy is five years old, and his father is not present.

Has he been bad?

Questions arise whether the boy's behavior caused his father's absence.

Done something wrong?

Speculation about whether the boy did something wrong.

He doesn't like it on his own

The boy dislikes being alone.

When id daddy coming home?

Expressing the boy's longing for his absent father.


When will my daddy come back to me

The boy wonders when his father will return.

He's sailing out on the Seven Seas

The father is away sailing on the Seven Seas.

The whole world is his port of call

The world is the father's port of call, as indicated by postcards.

A box of postcards says it all

A box of postcards serves as a reminder of the father's travels.

Out on the radio, I could be wrong

The narrator hears a song on the radio, possibly the father's favorite.

I thought they played his favorite song

Uncertainty if the song is indeed the father's favorite.

It said hold on son it won't be long

A message on the radio assures the son that his father will return soon.

I don't know where that's coming from

Confusion about the source of the reassuring message.


And who will tuck me in tonight

Question about who will tuck the boy in at night.

Rub your head turn out the light

A description of the bedtime routine with the father.

If you listen to the wind outside

Suggestion to listen to the wind to hear the father crying.

You just might hear your daddy cry

The possibility of hearing the father's emotional expression in the wind.

Hear your daddy cry

Reiteration of the idea that the father might be crying.
