Lyrics for Melancholy Child by Pam Tillis:
| | | Artist: | Pam Tillis |
| | Album: | Put Yourself In My Place | | Track: | Melancholy Child | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 312 | | | | Lyrics: | A baby with a baby just barely seventeen
My mother mourned her innocence
While she bounced
on her knee
A daddy on the road added to her tears and trials
Like silver rain they fell
upon this melancholy child
The sounds of my childhood still linger in my song
My
mother's lullaby that train that ran behind our home
A whippoorwill on a window sill - it
should have made me smile
But everything sounds lonesome to a melancholy child
Now a
restless blood runs in our family
I thought I could outrun the emptiness inside of me
So I
went a little crazy, went a little wild
Trying to outdistance my own melancholy
child
I met a kind and gentle man who thinks the world of me
And when he looks my
way it is a woman that he sees
But when I can't explain to him the tears that fill my
eyes
He takes me in his arms and rocks his melancholy child
You take a black Irish
temper and some solemn Cherokee
A Southern sense of humor and you got someone like
me
There are thorns on every rose to this I'm reconciled
They're just a little sharper to
a melancholy child
And in my own babe's eyes I see the signs of a melancholy
child
Heaven help us all, another melancholy child | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
