Words:
When
When will the icicle melt
The icicle, icicle
And when
When will the picture show end
The picture show, picture show
I should not have read the paper today
Cause a child, child, child
Child he was taken away
There's a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long
How
How could you a child
Hurt a child, hurt a child
Now
Does this make you satisfied
Satisfied, satisfied
I don't know what's happening to people today
When a child, child, child
Child he was taken away
There's a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long
There's a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long
Too long
