| Remember Me and My Lullabye |
 |
| She lays there hurt and bleeding Wrists cut by the ropes Her eyes are blurry and filled with tears Lost sight of all hope As her head pounds with pain She listens to her parents fight The screams and sobs of her mother Echo through the night She lays there and she wonders What her dad is going to do And so she sings a lullabye A cheerful little tune "Here we go together Circling round and round All of us together Living here in town Now we're picking flowers Circling round and round We will always be together Living here in town" Then she hears a noise She knows what it could be The screaming and the yelling stops- She lays there quietly A few days pass or more And no more noises are heard Until one day a stranger's voice Comes to her, muffled and blurred The bondage from the ropes is gone And as they carry her out She sees the blood stains on the floor And knows what the silence was about She hears the friendly voices Of the people she doesn't know And as the ambulance takes her away She hums a tune, soft and low "Here we go together Circling round and round All of us together Living here in town Now we're picking flowers Circling round and round We will always be together Living here in town" Every year she visits the grave The place her mother lies And she loves her much, much more Than the father she despised So now the years go by and by She lives a happy life And now the time has come for her The time for her to die Her daughter kneels beside her She tells her not to cry "Please, just remember me And don't forget our lullabye" "Here we go together Circling round and round All of us together Living here in town Now we're picking flowers Circling round and round We will always be together Living here in town" |
