Losing a Man and Child
I stepped into the shower today
But before I could turn the water on
My tears had filled the bathtub
For the baby that is long gone
For many years I've looked at children
Trying simply to forget
My one true love
Wasn't ready yet
I have had no one to talk to
No one would understand
Except for the man who took me
To send our child to the Promise Land.
Who will hold me when I cry
Not calling me names
An ocean is waiting inside of me
But for now it only rains
So, for the man who took me
If you see water drops
It's only me trying to talk to you
Until the pain stops
