Sorrow's child sits by the river
|
Sorrow's child hears not the water
|
Sorrow's child sits by the river
|
Sorrow's child hears not the water
|
And just when it seems as though
|
You've got strength enough to stand
|
Sorrow's child all weak and strange
|
Stands waiting at your hand
|
|
Sorrow's child steps in the water
|
Sorrow's child you follow after
|
Sorrow's child wades in deeper
|
Sorrow's child invites you under
|
And just when you thought as though
|
All your tears were wept and done
|
Sorrow's child grieves not what has passed
|
But all the past still yet to come
|
Sorrow's child sits by the water
|
Sorrow's child your arms enfold her
|
Sorrow's child you're loathe to befriend her
|
Sorrow's child but in sorrow surrender
|
And just when is seems as though
|
All your tears were at an end
|
Sorrow's child lifts up her hand
|
And she brings it down again
|
