White child
They'll find you
And tie your broken hands
They'll catch you
By the toe
Just to show they can
Take this sadness from my heart
I may well plead and cry
It's too late my stem is cut
And all my leaves are dry
I can lie here next to you
I will watch you fall asleep
But if you wake
You're on your own
White child
Hold your tongue
What you've done is wrong
And hold your breath
Because this stale air
Is no good for your lungs
I can lie here next to you
I will watch you fall asleep
But if you wake
You're on your own
If you wake
I'm gone
