lyrics

​​Down through the fields
Across the river
Up to the door of the house
Where the children live

The light reveals
The lamp light shivers
That stand before
As you reach out your hand to give

The empty faces full of questioning
Your workless fingers full of gesturing
What language can you share
The one of love and care
That's all that's needed there

You smile dismayed
Your gaze returned
By hopeful eyes
And timid looks, lips moving silently

The past replayed
The houses burned
With no disguise
Betrayal shook each child so violently

You move your fingers slowly at your side
You tell yourself you got no guilt to hide
You look down at the floor
Your back against the door
Then look at them once more

The cold night air
Starts creeping in
You start to speak
Your coat feels warm, with your pockets full

Their legs are bare
Their arms are thin
Their hands are weak
So close to harm that your senses crawl

You hold your breath then you let it out
You've got so much you can live without
They stand here watching you
The time for words is through
'Cause you know what to do
