Little Dave

Black clouds cover the land with darkness,
and children run away from the floating shadow.
They run home, because they know,
there's someone who's waiting for them.
Mothers arms will protect them,
so there fears can be buried and simply dissapear.
The Storm ruptures across the land,
and the rain get's stronger and stronger,
Wake up little dave, wake up,
turn around and run, and run, and run, and run.
Free yourself from the spell and escape into life.
Eyes peering through windows,
watching a boy with his head down,
pacing slowly through the agitated sky.
It's little dave,
the sunshine took away his worris for a few hours.
Every step closer to home,
he becomes more scared and the world around him
Lost even more in meaning.
Getting closer to home as though he'd been hypnotised,
this is hell, another victim of tyranny and alcohol.
Wake up little dave, wake up,
turn around and run, and run, and run, and run.
Free yourself from the spell and escape into life.
Your father smashed all your mirrors lo a thousand pieces, and with mothers love remained silent forever.
Your eyes screaming for help,
and your tears crying within you.
Heal your wounds with the old man's advice,
which every night you speak of in your dreams.
You can still jump over the wall,
climb it up and don't look back, jump
Don't wait it could be to late.
Wake up little dave. wake up,
turn around and run, and run, and run, and run.
Free yourself from the spell and escape into life.
Hey Dave, come on wake up, you gonna make it!
