Perhaps they're far away
Or maybe very near
He might be pouring her coffee
She might be fixing his tie
Maybe they live in a house
Nestled behind a hill
She could be playing piano
While he's paying the bills
I bet they're young
I bet they're smart
They probably collect things
Like ashtrays and art
I bet they're kind
Why wouldn't they be?
Their one mistake
Was giving up me
So maybe now's the time
And maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me "baby"
Maybe
I bet he reads
I bet she sews
Maybe she's made me
A wardrobe of clothes
They might be strict
And keep things in line
I wouldn't mind
If only they're mine
So maybe now this prayer's
The last one I'll say
Won't you please
Come and take me away?
ORPHANS
