Until The Tears Run Dry

Bu2

Little girl crying, won’t say why
When someone big asks she just sighs
and says it’s nothing, all is fine
It’s not in her to fret or whine

But deep inside she knows a fear
She cringes when her mother’s near
No one sees it or comprehends
When the day is finished, that’s when it ends

Then she can breathe, forget a while
Play with her brother and even smile

Yes she can play on
until the tears run dry
Little girl play on
until the tears run dry

She doesn’t know what words to say
to make it stop and go away
All she knows is something’s wrong
A sour note has killed her song

So she stops singing for years on end
Goes on with life but plays pretend
Until one day her house of bricks
comes tumbling down and can’t be fixed

And finally she finds the words
to sing her song, let it be heard

Let it play on
until the tears run dry
Honey sway on
until the tears run dry

Mommies are supposed to love
but sometimes they’re confused
It’s not your fault, you didn’t ask
or beg to be abused

You didn’t know
They didn’t see
It’s over now
and you’re set free

Let it play on
until the tears run dry
Mama sway on
until the tears run dry
