Throw Away Children

Oh oh, the sun’s gone down
Her day begins
And the rhythm of the darkness wakes the dead
Don’t answer eyes that smile
Don’t let them in
They see the lonely child
She feels their sin
But it’s getting so much colder and she’s afraid
Never going back to where the pain was
She’d rather face the pain that’s here and now
Someone’s thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw away child
'I'll make you safe and warm'
Words she needs to hear
What they really mean is 'No more, little girl'
Don’t see her any more
They disappear
Yesterday they said that she was dying
And just today I heard that she was dead
Someone’s thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw away child
Someone’s thrown away their children
You can hear them only if you try
Sing for the runaway children
Goodbye
(Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw away child)
(Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw away child)
