Sorrow's Child

Sorrow's child sits by the river

Sorrow's child hears not the water

Sorrow's child sits by the river

Sorrow's child hears not the water

And just when it seems as though

You've got strength enough to stand

Sorrow's child all weak and strange

Stands waiting at your hand



Sorrow's child steps in the water

Sorrow's child you follow after

Sorrow's child wades in deeper

Sorrow's child invites you under

And just when you thought as though

All your tears were wept and done

Sorrow's child grieves not what has passed

But all the past still yet to come

Sorrow's child sits by the water

Sorrow's child your arms enfold her

Sorrow's child you're loathe to befriend her

Sorrow's child but in sorrow surrender

And just when is seems as though

All your tears were at an end

Sorrow's child lifts up her hand

And she brings it down again
