Testo Two Little Children - Brett Young
Testo della canzone Two Little Children (Brett Young), tratta dall'album Songs of Sorrow
Two little children, a boy and a girl
Sat by an old, church door
The little girl's feet, were as brown, as the curl
That fell on the dress, that she wore
The boy's coat, was ragged and hatless
His head, a tear shone, in each little eye
Why don't you run home, to your mama? I said
And this, was the maiden's reply
Mama's in heaven, angels took her away
And left me and Jim, all alone
We come here to sleep, at the close, of the day
For we have no mama, or home
We can't earn our living, we're too little, she said
Jim's five and I'm only seven
There's no one to love us, since papa is dead
And our darling mama's, in heaven
Papa was lost, out at sea, long ago
We waited all night, on the shore
For he was a life-saving captain, you know
And never came home, anymore
And mama got sick, angels, took her away
Away to a home, warm and bright
They'll come for my darling, she told us, one day
And perhaps, they are coming tonight
Maybe tonight, they'll have room, she said
For two little children, to keep
Then placing her arm, under little Jim's head
She kissed him, and both, fell asleep
The sexton came early, to ring the church bell
He found them, beneath the snow white
The angels made room, for two orphans, to dwell
In heaven, with mama, that night
