|
Her world collapsed early Sunday morning |
|
She got up from the kitchen table |
|
Folded the newspaper and silenced the radio |
|
Those creatures jumped the barricades |
|
And have headed for the sea, sea |
|
|
|
Those creatures jumped the barricades |
|
And have headed for the sea |
|
She began to breathe |
|
To breathe at the thought of such freedom |
|
Stood and whispered to her child, belong |
|
She held the child and whispered |
|
With calm, calm; belong |
|
|
|
Stood and whispered to her child, belong |
|
She held the child and whispered |
|
With calm, calm; belong |
|
|
|
These barricades can only hold for so long |
|
Her world collapsed early Sunday morning |
|
She took the child held tight |
|
Opened the window |
|
A breath, this song, how long |
|
And knew, knew; belong |
