A Bit Of Earth

(альбом: Enchantment - 2001)

A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth, she'll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow, the flowers bloom
But is their bounty what she needs

How can she chance to love a little bit of earth?
Does she not know the earth is old?
And doesn't care if one small girl wants things to grow

She needs a friend
She needs a Father, brother, sister, Mother's arms
She needs to laugh, she needs to dance
And learn to work her girlish charms

She needs a home
The only thing she really needs I cannot give
Instead she asks a bit of earth to make it live

She should have a pony, gallop 'cross the moor
She should have a doll's house with a hundred rooms per floor
Why can't she ask for a treasure? Something that money can buy
That won't die, when I'd give her the world, she asks instead for some earth

A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth, she'll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow, the flowers bloom
Their beauty just the thing she needs

She'll grow to love
The tender roses, lilies fair, the iris tall
And then in fall, her bit of earth
Will freeze and kill them all

A bit of earth
A bit of earth
A bit of earth
A bit of earth
