Pearls Before Swine - God Save The Child lyrics

rate me

God Save The Child

God save the child

Lost in the sea

God save the child

God save the child

You didn't even say goodbye

When you left me

Bye bye bye for now

An empty bed was all I heard

After hanging on your every word

For so long

Been so long

God save the child

God save the child

I met you at a party one time

Said your name didn't go with your eyes

Wasn't that a laugh?

I thought that maybe we could make it

'Cause into every rain a little life must fall

Life must fall

God save the child

God save the child

Your smile said that you'd overheard

All the elephants' last words

That I never heard

And when you told me some

And I wrote this song

I knew it couldn't last for long

Life must fall

God save the child

God save the child

As I begin to begin again

The sky's not even sympathetic

Enough to cry

I sit here crying, so bewildered

Don't you know you're lost without me

Please come back I need you

God save the child

God save the child
