Sweet little babe walked away in the woods and got lost today
No one ever heard her laugh again
Some people say that she fell in the water
But I knew her so well and she was afraid of the sea
Where could she be?
I've been drowning in the shallows
And I fade away
When I think of that day
What did she say?
Born on the 2nd of May
Everyone's child disappeared as she ran to the woods to play
Someone stole a gem beneath our eyes
Some people say that she's sleeping below us
And some people swear that she flew up to Heaven
But I knew her so well and she was afraid of the dark
Well, I've been drowning in the shallows (to be near you)
And, I fade away
When I think of that day
What did she pray?
Lost on the 2nd of May
Some people say that the devil's among us
But I knew him so well and he is afraid to be seen
I've been drowning in the shallows
And I fade away
When I think of that day
What did she say?
Gone on the 2nd of May
I've been drowning in the shallows
And I fade away
When I think of that day
What did she pray?
Dead on the 2nd of May
I've been drowning in the shallows (to be near you)
