G Em
And haunts the smallest children’s sleep, upon the floor
G Em
“Where have they gone?" You’ll hear them say with smiles meant to cry
G Em
As they wind a watch wrapped on a wrist and quickly look away
G Em

G Em
And upon the lips of everyone a curse they’ve never dreamed

G Em

G Em
The eyes of youth must lose their way and stumble here within
G Em

G Em
