Girl Child

Smile girl child,
THe night is still young,
Smile girl child,
Run, run, run,
Open up another drink,
What about your poor mum?
Heaven knows what she will think,
SHe lost control,
You've lost your way,
Drinking & drinking,
Day after day,
Open up another vodka,
Poor another glass,
You know that within yourself,
The pain is still gunna last,
But yet you still keep going,
With another drink in hand,
Heading out the backyard,
Then laying in the sand,
You look up at the sky,
See the stars above,
And just wish and pray,
You too had somebody to love,
You stagger to the shed,
You know its here already,
Hanging about your head,
You grab the rope,
So course yet tender,
Slowly, so slowly,
You start to remember,
That day strait after school,
That one day you found,
The rope, the shed & the stool,
The flash backs start to happen,
Your screaming is so shrill,
Now its happening again,
But this time,
Your hanging still.
