Throw Away Children

Oh oh, the sun's gone down
Her day begins
And the rhythm of the darkness
Wakes the deadDon't answer eyes that smile
Don't let them in
They see the lonely child
She feels their sinBut 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 nowSomeone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw-away childI'll make you safe and warm
Words she needs to hear
What they really mean is no more
Little girlDon't see her anymore
They disappear
Yesterday they said that she was dying
And just today I heard that she was deadSomeone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw-away childSomeone's thrown away their children
You can hear them only if you try
Sing for the runaway children
GoodbyeSomeone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw-away childSomeone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
