Sorrow's child

Sorrow´s child sits by the river
Sorrow´s child hears not the water
Sorrow´s child sits by the river
Sorrow´s child hears not the water
And just when it seems as though
You´ve got strength enough to stand
Sorrow´s child all weak and strange
Stands waiting at your hand
Sorrow´s child steps in the water
Sorrow´s child you follow after
Sorrow´s child wades in deeper
Sorrow´s child invites you under
And just when you thought as though
All your tears were wept and done
Sorrow´s child grieves not what has passed
But all the past still yet to come
Sorrow´s child sits by the water
Sorrow´s child your arms enfold her
Sorrow´s child you´re loathe to befriend her
Sorrow´s child but in sorrow surrender
And just when is seems as though
All your tears were at an end
Sorrow´s child lifts up her hand
And she brings it down again
Sorrow´s child hears not the water
Sorrow´s child sits by the river
Sorrow´s child hears not the water
And just when it seems as though
You´ve got strength enough to stand
Sorrow´s child all weak and strange
Stands waiting at your hand
Sorrow´s child steps in the water
Sorrow´s child you follow after
Sorrow´s child wades in deeper
Sorrow´s child invites you under
And just when you thought as though
All your tears were wept and done
Sorrow´s child grieves not what has passed
But all the past still yet to come
Sorrow´s child sits by the water
Sorrow´s child your arms enfold her
Sorrow´s child you´re loathe to befriend her
Sorrow´s child but in sorrow surrender
And just when is seems as though
All your tears were at an end
Sorrow´s child lifts up her hand
And she brings it down again
