Child
The Dirty Guv'nahs

Gather round in the living room
Been awhile since you told her I'll see you soon
Mark the ground and we'll cover your body today

Papa's words were they all a lie?
I heard the truth from a blackbird in the sky
It's never easy when you bury a man to be free

It's a blind, crying shame
When you deal, and you feel, only pain
So I lie to myself, yes I bleed down the middle
The gift that you made is worth more than a little
She's a child, running wild and free

Faded letters laying on a shelf
Memories that were only for herself
Light a match now, leave em and light em on fire

What's a child ever gonna say
Bout a man gone twenty years to the day
Let the light come and carry you back to your home

It's a blind, crying shame
When you deal, and you feel, only pain
So I lie to myself, yes I bleed down the middle
The gift that you made is worth more than a little
She's a child, running wild and free

Tell me where's your pride
And did you ever think to miss
The ones you cast aside?
