Little Girl

Little girl, little girl

Please, oh please stop, drop that tin-fold

Don't you know the harm that comes along with

Little girl little girl

What sounds are those in the background

When did you stop listening to cradle songs

Little girl little girl

Where have your blonde soft curls gone?

Did they fall from all that ammonium in the hair dye?

Little girl Little girl

What happened to all the puppets?

Looks like they’ve claimed some life of their own

Little girl little girl

Do you still remember those happy meals?

The walks in the park?

I can still hear your laughter, a sound so sweet

Still remember that stare, so naive

Your voice low & clear

That endless happiness which would surround you

Little girl……my little girl…where did the years go?

It was all he could repeat, after witnessing the woman his little girl had become.
