Frida Snell Orphan Parade
My father went to heaven
And mother caught a train
She said "baby I'll go downtown
To get some food, a daily wage"
And there's place we called oblivion
I used to go there everyday
To chase the angels up midstream
Search the answers, a silent prayer
Was it easy, was it hard?
To leave a child a piece of heart
Can you hear me singing through this tears
Will we always be apart?
Did you cry or did you forget?
All those answers I'll never get
Did you hear me shout, Love
Did you turn around, Mum
To see me join the Orphan parade
The years pass by like clouds in the sky
Im grown up and left the school
High marked most of the subjects
Yeah I really worked so hard
And there's a place up on a rooftop
I use 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 this tears
Will we always be apart?
Did you cry or did you forget?
All those answers I'll never get
Did you hear me shout, Love
Did you turn around, Mum
To see me join the Orphan parade
And here I stand, I'll wait for years
I wont give up, I'll just dry my tears
I'll throw a dream out in the cold
And pray that it will reach you,
When you're freezing in the fall
