The Kelly Family - Audrey lyrics

rate me

-Audrey-

Audrey was a girl that sat in my classroom

she never said a word

she just sat there furtively

I never noticed her until I heard the radio

telling about the way she took her life

today it's all upon the covers of the papers

about her folk at home

I guess her daddy's a drinker

her mommy left her

when she was just a little child

oh tell me Audrey, was it the first time

you felt abounding ness

hold on baby

don't be sorry

every day has it's ups and downs

hold on baby

there will be sunshine

every life has it's stormy nights

comes to think about it

there is some things that can't be called

about her arms

they had blue spots on them

I remember to think

it starts to myself

is it wrong to wonder about somebody else problems

I'm not burning with at all

hold on baby,...

...that she lays down on the bottoms of the river

tell me what crime did it take

to take this girls only willingness

but I will pray

that someday, she'll rise again!

If you're out there

I hope you can see my sorrow

and pain of guilt

I never asked you how you were

but one thing I can assure you

after witnessing what is been done

I will open my heart to the new girl

that sits next door!

hold on baby,...
