Neal Morse - Leah lyrics

Leah's mother and me were quite a pair So we looked in the paper for a dog and a house to share Her and her little girl came Suddenly I had to explain Things like lightning - why is it so mad at the rain? Leah's mother left one morning in an April fog Leaving me the saddest little girl and a nasty dog Leaving me to answer why When Leah asks as she cries "Why did she leave me this way?" And softly I say... CHORUS: "Leah - mothers love their daughters I'm sure that she still cares for you now And Leah - lay upon my shoulders I'll be taking care of you now" Leah's mother's been gone for a very long time And Leah and me are sorta like the blind leading the blind But when she asks about the fallen Queen Sometimes I want to say somethin' so mean But I hold my pain inside And softly I say... CHORUS (to end)
