| Sweet little babe walked away in the woods and got lost today
|
| No one ever heard her laugh again
|
| Some people say that she fell in the water
|
| But I knew her so well and she was afraid of the sea
|
| Where could she be?
|
| I’ve been drowning in the shallows
|
| And I fade away
|
| When I think of that day
|
| What did she say?
|
| Born on the 2nd of May
|
| Everyone’s child disappeared as she ran to the woods to play
|
| Someone stole a gem beneath our eyes
|
| Some people say that she’s sleeping below us
|
| And some people swear that she flew up to Heaven
|
| But I knew her so well and she was afraid of the dark
|
| Well, I’ve been drowning in the shallows (to be near you)
|
| And, I fade away
|
| When I think of that day
|
| What did she pray?
|
| Lost on the 2nd of May
|
| Some people say that the devil’s among us
|
| But I knew him so well and he is afraid to be seen
|
| I’ve been drowning in the shallows
|
| And I fade away
|
| When I think of that day
|
| What did she say?
|
| Gone on the 2nd of May
|
| I’ve been drowning in the shallows
|
| And I fade away
|
| When I think of that day
|
| What did she pray?
|
| Dead on the 2nd of May
|
| I’ve been drowning in the shallows (to be near you) |
