Once we found a robin
|
In our backyard
|
It was already dead
|
But we were so sure
|
That things weren't gone too far
|
|
So we prayed to God above
|
That He'd bring it back to us
|
And we put it in a jar
|
And waited, and waited
|
|
But mama made us bury it
|
Mama made us bury it
|
In the backyard
|
|
I wished to be just like my best friend
|
She was the brightest star in the room
|
Yeah but we didn't know what we had
|
|
With the world pressing in
|
On her backyard
|
She fell in backwards
|
She fell in backwards
|
|
With the world pressing in
|
On her backyard
|
She fell in backwards
|
|
We prayed to God above
|
That He'd bring her back to us
|
So we put her in a box
|
We put her in a box
|
And waited
|
For something to happen
|
But nothing happened
|
|
But mama made me bury her
|
Mama made me bury her
|
Mama made me bury her in the backyard
|
