Frida Snell - Orphan Parade Lyrics lyrics

rate me

My father went to heaven

And mother caught a train

She said "baby I’ll go downtown

to get some food, a daily wage"

And there’s place we called oblivion

I used to go there everyday

To chase the angels up midstream

Search the answers, a silent prayer

Was it easy, was it hard?

To leave a child a piece of heart

Can you hear me singing through this tears

Will we always be apart?

Did you cry or did you forget?

All those answers I’ll never get

Did you hear me shout, Love

Did you turn around, Mum

To see me join the Orphan parade

The years pass by like clouds in the sky

I’m grown up and left the school

High marked most of the subjects

Yeah I really worked so hard

And there’s a place up on a rooftop

I use to go there every night

Reach out my hands to hold you tight

And for a moment it feels alright

Was it easy, was it hard?

To leave a child a piece of heart

Can you hear me singing through this tears

Will we always be apart?

Did you cry or did you forget?

All those answers I’ll never get

Did you hear me shout, Love

Did you turn around, Mum

To see me join the Orphan parade

And here I stand, I’ll wait for years

I won’t give up, I’ll just dry my tears

I´ll throw a dream out in the cold

And pray that it will reach you,

when you’re freezing in the fall
