Orphan Parade

Father went to heaven

And mother caught a train

She said "Baby, I'll go downtown

To get some food and daily wage"

There's a place we call oblivion

I used to go there every day

To chase the angels up mid streams

And search the answers to silent prayer

Was it easy, was it hard

To leave a child a piece of heart?

Can you hear me singing through these tears?

Oh, we'll always be apart

Did you cry or did you forget

All those answers I'll never get?

Did you hear me shout, no

Did you turn around, no

To see me join the orphan parade?

Years pass by like clouds in the sky

I've grown up and left the school

I marked most of the subjects

Yeah, I really worked so hard

And there's a place upon a rooftop

I used to go there every night

Reach out my hands to hold you tight

And for a moment it feels alright

Was it easy, was it hard

To leave a child a piece of heart?

Can you hear me singing through these tears?

Oh, we'll always be apart

Did you cry or did you forget

All those answers I'll never get?

Did you hear me shout, no

Did you turn around, no

To see me join the orphan parade?

Here I stand, I'll wait for years

I won't give up, just dry my tears

I'll throw a dream out in the cold and pray

But it won't reach you

When you're freezing in the fall

Was it easy, was it hard

To leave a child a piece of heart?

Can you hear me singing through these tears?

Oh, we'll always be apart

Did you cry or did you forget

All those answers I'll never get?

Did you hear me shout, no

Did you turn around, no

To see me join the orphan parade?
