River City People Carry The Blame
What would he look like, who would he talk like,
Would he have your eyes?
Would she have your smile, gentle and so kind,
Would she tell my lies?
I hide my head in the sand
Escape, and wash my hands, but I'm not clean
Something screams at me on the day you should have been
Are we hopelessly insane?
Relentless we remain. I hear my name
Read out to me the day you should have been
Each day I carry the blame
Cover the cost
Of those children whose names,
Forever are lost
We must be guilty of murder.
Measure my words
Of babies whose crying
Will never be heard.
What would he look like, who would he talk like,
Would he have your eyes?
Would she have your smile, gentle and so kind,
Would she tell my lies?
I'm losing my appetite, I cry through my dreams
I can´t stop thinking to myself, I wonder what should have been
- oh what should have been?
Each day I carry the blame
Cover the cost
Of those children whose names,
Forever are lost
We must be guilty of murder.
Measure my words
Of babies whose crying
Will never be heard
