Lyrics
Bombs are dropping, smoke fills the air I wanna duck and cover but I've gotta stay out here 'Cause I know myself and if I hole up in my room I'll be consumed by the doom and the gloom
So I called john 'cause I know he knows sorrow He said "I'll be in the city tomorrow" So I go down and I watch him sing And the way he sings sends a chill right through me, yeah
And now there's a mountain goat Precariously balanced on the frog stuck in my throat It says "sometimes whispering's okay But maybe you'd feel better if you screamed today"
The lady took the baby I know she loves the baby But the baby has a daddy And his daddy loves him too How could she take the baby? Maybe she's gone crazy She won't share It's not fair There's nothing I can do
The lady took the baby I know she loves the baby But the baby has a daddy And his daddy loves him too How could she take the baby? Maybe she's gone crazy She won't share It's not fair There's nothing I can do
Tuesday night grandma curled up in my bed By wednesday morning my grandma was dead I was in charlotte, I took the bus home Her shoes, watch, and teeth were still in my room
And as I lay me down to sleep I felt her spirit rise up through me She said "i got to live a long eighty six years, dry your tears I know it's hard but please let go so I can meet your grandpa in the undertow Chin up girl, you've got to be strong, and know when you're singing I'm singing along"
The lady took the baby I know she loves the baby But the baby has a daddy And his daddy loves him too How could she take the baby? Maybe she's gone crazy She won't share It's not fair There's nothing I can do
The lady took the baby I know she loves the baby But the baby has a daddy And his daddy loves him too How could she take the baby? Maybe she's gone crazy She won't share It's not fair There's nothing I can do
Little bitty baby so far away We hope that you can come home soon When we're not together, now or ever Always remember I love you
Little bitty baby so far away We hope that you can come home soon When we're not together, now or ever Always remember I love you
