Child bride

It’s hard to tell
This is my wedding night
I am dressed and ready
Despite my innocence
It is Hard to tell
Whose little girl am I
The man with the black hat
Will take me home tonight
I wash my body, five years grown
Promised father, leave me alone
Hope not too lonely
You pull away down the dusty road
Family waiting
Hope not too lonely
Hope not too lonely
Hope not too lonely
Hope not too lonely

I watched the grass blow
Through the window
I am a good grass widow
I am a grass widow
News from the sparrow
My friendly fellow
They get along just fine without me
They are never lonely
They are never lonely
They are never lonely

I watched the flowers grow,
Outside my window
I am a good grass widow
I am a grass widow
