When I was a little girl painted and hungry Wearing my mother's pearls but they didn't want me I beckon the water to quicken the slaughter But it couldn't hear me Nobody to admire no one to hold me Burning the barrel fire to heat up the alley I beckon the water to quicken the slaughter But it couldn't hear me Oh the waves weren't listening Oh the waves weren't listening I should of known they'd be bringing me home Maybe I thought it a compromise, but I don't know Coming around in the morning sun on Red House Row I woke by the one I'd forgotten An open door I found her sleeping in the closet alone A band of crimson where her necklace would go I thought it strange she didn't even say hello I took her down and dressed her up Like a doll Maybe I though it a compromise, what did I know? Laying her down in the morning sun on Red House Row I spoke with the one I'd forgotten I cradled her head and so gently I kissed her Put her to bed and then told her I missed her I fell on my knees when I got to the water Bury the mother and bury the daughter Now the waves are listening Now the waves are listening I always knew they'd be bringing us home
