Stephen Duffy And The Lilac Time - Ghetto Child lyrics

I die, you die Softly and so alive No one else has seen me cry Ghetto child I hear you breathing See your heart beating Promise this time the dreams are on me Ghetto child Driven like the lambs Hiding from the hands She breathes, she breathes, she breathes When out the door she slams For no one understands She breathes, she breathes, she breathes Breathes a ghetto child Paper flowers So grey and golden Scent the circus of your soul Ghetto child A book of pictures With no words for it Something's scribbled in the snow Ghetto child Child born after Coltrane died But before that one small step Relieved when no one realised That's as high as man could get You'll never take a bigger step Than a ghetto child
