Sorrow's child sits by the river. Sorrow's child hears not the water. Sorrow's child sits by the river. Sorrow's child hears not the water. And just when it seems as though. You've got strength enough to stand. Sorrow's child all weak and strange. Stands waiting at your hand. Sorrow's child steps in the water. Sorrow's child you follow after. Sorrow's child wades in deeper. Sorrow's child invites you under. And just when you thought as though. All your tears were wept and done. Sorrow's child grieves not what has passed. But all the past still yet to come. Sorrow's child sits by the water. Sorrow's child your arms enfold her. Sorrow's child you're loathe to befriend her. Sorrow's child but in sorrow surrender. And just when is seems as though. All your tears were at an end. Sorrow's child lifts up her hand. And she brings it down again.
