Midnight Lady Lyrics

Midnight Lady lyrics

The little girl she said to me
What are these things that I can see
Each
night when I come home from school
And mama calls me in for tea
Oh every
night a baby dies
And every night a mama cries
What makes those men do
what they do
To make that person black and blue
Grandpa says their happy
now
They sit with God in paradise
With angels' wings and still
somehow
It makes me feel like ice
Tell me there's a heaven
Tell me
that it's true
Tell me there's a reason
Why I'm seeing what I do
Tell
me there's a heaven
Where all those people go
Tell me they're all happy
now
Papa tell me that it's so

So do I tell her that it's true
That
there's a place for me and you
Where hungry children smile and say
We
wouldn't have no other way
That every painful crack of bones
Is a step
along the way
Every wrong done is a game plan
To that great and joyful
day

And I'm looking at the father and the son
And I'm looking at the
mother and the daughter
And I'm watching them in tears of pain
And I'm
watching them suffer
Don't tell that little girl
Tell me
Tell me
there's a heaven
Tell me that it's true
Tell me there's a reason
Why
I'm seeing what I do

Tell me there's a heaven
Where all those people
go
Tell me they're all happy now
Papa tell me that it's so
