Throw Away Children Lyrics

Oh oh, the sun's gone down
Her day begins
And the rhythm of the darkness
Wakes the dead
Don't answer eyes that smile
Don't let them in
They see the lonely child
She feels their sin
But it's getting so much colder
And she's afraid
Never going back to where the pain was
She'd rather face the pain that's here and now
Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw-away child
I'll make you safe and warm
Words she needs to hear

What they really mean is no more
Little girl
Don't see her anymore
They disappear
Yesterday they said that she was dying
And just today I heard that she was dead
Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw-away child
Someone's thrown away their children
You can hear them only if you try
Sing for the runaway children
Goodbye
Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw-away child
Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
