Lyrics
You think she can hear you call?
You think that she can hear anything at all?
you think she's out there now
cowering from the night before it falls?
you think her skin still glows?
when all thats left of her is some footprints in the snow?
you think she's out there now
trying to find the path that leads her home
when she don't know which way
the wind is blowing
or which side of the tree the moss is growing on
when the night is whispering
trying to keep her dirty feet from going on
and she's throwing up her hands
to the devil dancing through the trees
and her feet are slipping
on the blood that's dripping from her knees
was it the wind outside
playing tricks on your mind or did you hear your baby cry?
will jesus bring her down from the pines
and dry her pretty eyes?
when you dont know if her
heart is beating
if she's hardly breathing
if she's even alive
mother your baby's missing
and you never even got to kiss her goodbye
You think that she can hear anything at all?
you think she's out there now
cowering from the night before it falls?
you think her skin still glows?
when all thats left of her is some footprints in the snow?
you think she's out there now
trying to find the path that leads her home
when she don't know which way
the wind is blowing
or which side of the tree the moss is growing on
when the night is whispering
trying to keep her dirty feet from going on
and she's throwing up her hands
to the devil dancing through the trees
and her feet are slipping
on the blood that's dripping from her knees
was it the wind outside
playing tricks on your mind or did you hear your baby cry?
will jesus bring her down from the pines
and dry her pretty eyes?
when you dont know if her
heart is beating
if she's hardly breathing
if she's even alive
mother your baby's missing
and you never even got to kiss her goodbye
