Sweet Orphan

Seven Nations


Ooh, I Swear This February's Cold 
I Stole a Chance to Hide Down On Dubose Siding Road 
Feeling Like An Orphan Looking For a Home 
Slowly I Wake and the Sky Turns Into Gold

Right Now, I Think He's Headed Down 15 
To Find a Mill Down There He Says Noone's Ever Seen 
His Father Took Him There When He Was Just 15 
Well, I Don't Know But I Couldn't Sworn I'd Been

Sweet Orphan Won't You Say Hello to the Mill Pond For Me 
Sweet Orphan Come Alive

I Know I Promised I Would Stay 
For At Least a Year Or More and I'd Work For Half the Pay 
With a Thousand Voices Signing in My Weary Head 
Softly They Sing to Me in Bed

Sweet Orphan Won't You Say Hello to the Mill Pond For Me 
Sweet Orphan Come Alive 
Sweet Orphan If You Say It's True I'll Believe You For Awhile 
Sweet Orphan Come Alive

And the Rain It Whistles Lonely On This Pond 
And I Think It's Sad You Never Learned to Swim 
Now They've Torn the Old Mill Down 
And Your Dress Blues Are On the Ground 
Now There's Nothing Left, Just Moss and Tired Trees

Sweet Orphan Won't You Say Hello to the Mill Pond For Me 
Sweet Orphan Come Alive 
Slowly, Softly,sweetly Come Alive 
Sweet Orphan If You Say It's True I'll Believe You For Awhile 
Sweet Orphan Come Alive 
I Can't Hear You Voice Any More
