There was a funeral last week A procession down the street People acted like the circus came to town The choir sang so loud When the casket hit the ground That the tiny bell that rang was all but drowned She's buried alive Buried alive A little child stood by the grave And was told that it was brave It’s not right to lose ones mother while so young The child was wondering still That if mother was so ill Then who pulled on the string so the bell rung? She's buried alive Buried alive Aaah Come, let's go outside and play Pretend we ran away I know a secret place SongtexteIn the garden by the maze They keep the curtains closed And we are never told And no one wants to say "Will they let our mother stay?" And the silence of the crowd Stood in contrast to the sound On the last night when dear mother could still cry There was laughter just before As the child peeked through the door The shadows of her sickness grew to wild Now she’s buried alive Buried alive Aaah Come, let's go outside and play Pretend we ran away I know a secret place In the garden by the maze They keep the curtains closed And we are never told And no one wants to say "Will they let our mother stay?" Bring me mother I can't sleep Child don't weep Mother's resting Mother will wake up again Bring me mother I can't sleep Child don't weep Mother's resting Mother will wake up again Come, let’s go outside and play Pretend we ran away I know a secret place In the garden by the maze They keep the curtains closed And we are never told And no one wants to say "Will they let our mother stay?" "Will they let our mother stay?" Aus Songtexte Mania
