Lyrics
She licks her finger and dampens her eye To make people think she is cryin' For all around her are tear-sorrowed faces But she is too young to know dyin' Outside the window tree branches sway down Long, gla**y fingers sweep snow-covered ground While inside a woman is moanin' softly For loss of a son She sees black-ribboned white roses and hears A man with bowed head heavily sighin' Then gravely she turns her gaze back to the box Where a broken young body is lyin' Outsidе the crystal icicles shine bright Castin' a prism, rеflectin' the light That sends rainbows dancin' across the brow Of a pastor in prayer She touches her face to see if the mouth tears She put on with her finger are dryin' Then her young attention is drawn back outside Where she watches a small brown bird flyin' Comin' to land on the icy fence rail With such a momentum it skids on its tail And she laughs so loud and then quickly Claps her small hand to her mouth
