Unheard Cry

Pretty baby, in your cradle, Smiling sickly, hushed and still Mama loves you, oh how she loves you, But when you cry now, she cannot hear And the lights go out on the carousel, Infant innocent, so long, farewell. Little sad eyes, looking for playthings, But there's no brother to play with you Stern faces gather, distant voices murmur But no-one touches, no-one comes near And the lights go out on the carousel, Infant innocent, so long, farewell. Hours pass slowly, restless turning For there's no mother to heal your pain Fading surely, you are returning, But will it first be from a broken heart? And the lights go out on the carousel, Infant innocent, so long, farewell. And the lights go out on the carousel, Infant innocent, so life, farewell.
