Little Girl Sorrow – Ward Thomas

Little girl sorrow comes knocking at my door
I give her what I can but she always wants more
And I want to borrow the future so it doesn’t hurt
But I know it’s gotta hurt

Grief stays outside your house until you let it in
Sits down for tea and you tell it about where you’ve been
And it listens, and you feel
And it whispers, and you heal
And suddenly it leaves you free

Oh Goliath guilt is hiding in my cupboard
She dresses me up in darkness ’til I’m covered
And I want to skip to forgiveness disguise all my doubts
But I’ve gotta face it now

Grief stays outside your house until you let it in
Sits down for tea and you tell it about where you’ve been
And it listens, and you feel
And it whispers, and you heal
And suddenly it leaves you free

My friend peace is out there somewhere waiting
Sitting in sunlight, smiling ever patient
And I want to tell her I’m coming but she already knows
As soon as I let it go

Grief stays outside your house until you let it in
Sits down for tea and you tell it about where you’ve been
And it listens, and you feel
And it whispers, and you heal
And suddenly it leaves you
Suddenly it leaves you free
