lyrics

The baby never got to see the sunshine
She lived til she was just an hour old
You don’t say a word

The doctors placed her in a little box
And left her on her own there in the cold
You don’t say a word

And even though she tried
My mother never got to say hello or goodbye

You turn your eyes, look outside
You change your mind
You don’t say a word

My mother came back home, her tummy empty
Just her and Pa in the car on their own
You don’t say a word

Mum lay down and Dad just watched the telly
And he would not let us pick up the phone

You wonder why
You run and hide
You don’t say a word

I lay awake in bed one summer evening
I heard Mum in the kitchen start to cry
I knew her hands were wrinkling in the sink
I knew she’d use her sleeve to dry her eyes
In the lounge I heard my Dad get from his chair
I heard Mum’s voice all shaky through a smile
I knew her head was resting on his chest
I knew that he was holding her so tight
