Leah

Leah's mother and me were quite a pairSo we looked in the paper for a dog and a house to shareHer and her little girl cameSuddenly I had to explainThings like lightning - why is it so mad at the rain?Leah's mother left one morning in an April fogLeaving me the saddest little girl and a nasty dogLeaving me to answer whyWhen Leah asks as she cries"Why did she leave me this way?"And softly I say...[CHORUS:]"Leah - mothers love their daughtersI'm sure that she still cares for you nowAnd Leah - lay upon my shouldersI'll be taking care of you now"Leah's mother's been gone for a very long timeAnd Leah and me are sorta like the blind leading the blindBut when she asks about the fallen QueenSometimes I want to say somethin' so meanBut I hold my pain insideAnd softly I say...[CHORUS (to end)]
