From the recording Seeing Red
Lyrics
SUFFER THE CHILDREN
There in the corner, a growing mystery
Eyes that are watching and waiting just for me
Over her shoulder lies her long blonde hair
I feel her touch, I feel her stare
She is the lonely one
She must feel she’s the only one who’s afraid
Oh baby, please don’t cry
Just dry your eyes, it’s alright
Oh baby, trust, just give it time
Funny how beauty always hides the pain
Smiles like sunshine while she’s walkin’ in the rain
Looking for answers to questions buried deep
Who are the monsters in her sleep?
She is the lonely one
She must feel she’s the only one who’s afraid
Oh baby, please don’t cry
Just dry your eyes, it’s alright
Oh baby, trust, just give it time
Suffer the child deep inside of me
As she looks in the mirror and wonders who she’ll see
Suffer the children for they do not understand
Guilt behind a smile and the wicked side of man
Now I lay me down to sleep
She is the lonely one
She must feel she’s the only one who’s afraid
Oh baby, please don’t cry
Just dry your eyes, it’s alright
Oh baby, trust, just give it time
