Midnight Lady lyrics

The little girl she said to me
What are these things that I can see
Each night when I come home from school
And mama calls me in for tea
Oh every night a baby dies
And every night a mama cries
What makes those men do what they do
To make that person black and blue
Grandpa says their happy now
They sit with God in paradise
With angels` wings and still somehow
It makes me feel like ice
Tell me there`s a heaven
Tell me that it`s true
Tell me there`s a reason
Why I`m seeing what I do
Tell me there`s a heaven
Where all those people go
Tell me they`re all happy now
Papa tell me that it`s so

So do I tell her that it`s true
That there`s a place for me and you
Where hungry children smile and say
We wouldn`t have no other way
That every painful crack of bones
Is a step along the way
Every wrong done is a game plan
To that great and joyful day

And I`m looking at the father and the son
And I`m looking at the mother and the daughter
And I`m watching them in tears of pain
And I`m watching them suffer
Don`t tell that little girl
Tell me
Tell me there`s a heaven
Tell me that it`s true
Tell me there`s a reason
Why I`m seeing what I do

Tell me there`s a heaven
Where all those people go
Tell me they`re all happy now
Papa tell me that it`s so
