So we lay here to rest
So we lay here with the ground beneath our heads
And not a word amoung us has been said
My little child
Now the dogs are barking tonight
Now the men will bargain
As they stand beneath the light
Everythign is colder here tonight
My little child
I've never been so worn and weary
I've never missed my love so dearly
My little child
And I cannot forget the things I saw
I cannot forget the way they gathered in the halls
And standing all alone before them all
My little child
Somewhere there is laughter tonight
Somewhere there is singing in the choir in the light
But it's quiet in Jerusalem tonight
But it's quiet in Jerusalem tonight
But it's quiet in Jerusalem tonight
My little child
I've never been so worn and weary
I've never missed my love so dearly
My little child
So we lay here to rest
So we lay here with the ground beneath our heads
And not a word amoung us has been said
My little child
My little child
My little child
