Sweet Orphan

Ooh, I swear this February's coldI stole a chance to hide down on Duboise Siding roadFeeling like an orphan looking for a homeSlowly I wake and the sky turns into goldRight now, I think he's headed down 15To find a mill down there he says no-ones ever seenHis father took him there when he was just fifteenWell, I don't know but I could've sworn I'd beenSweet Orphan won't you say hello to the mill pond for meSweet orphan come aliveI know I promised I would stayFor at least a year or more and I'd work for half the payWith a thousand voices ringing in my weary headSoftly they sing to me in bedSweet Orphan won't you say hello to the mill pong for meSweet Orphan come aliveSweet Orphan if you say it's true I'll believe you for a whileSweet Orphan come aliveAnd the rain it whistles lonely on this [pondAnd I think it's sad you never learned to swimNow they've torn the old mill downAnd your dress blues are on the groundNow there's nothing left, just moss and tired treesSweet Orphan won't you say hello to the mill pond for meSweet Orphan come aliveSlowly, softly, sweetly come aliveSweet Orphan if you say it's true I'll believe you for a whileSweet Orphan come aliveI can't hear your voice any more
