Seven Nations - Sweet Orphan lyrics

Ooh, I swear this February's cold I stole a chance to hide down on Dubose Siding Road feeling like an orphan looking for a home slowly I wake and the sky turns into gold Right now, I think he's headed down 15 to find a mill down there he says noone's ever seen his father took him there when he was just 15 well, I don't know but I couldn't sworn I'd been Sweet orphan won't you say hello to the mill pond for me Sweet orphan come alive I know I promised I would stay for at least a year or more and I'd work for half the pay with a thousand voices signing in my weary head softly they sing to me in bed Sweet orphan won't you say hello to the mill pond for me Sweet orphan come alive Sweet orphan if you say it's true I'll believe you for awhile Sweet orphan come alive And the rain it whistles lonely on this pond and I think it's sad you never learned to swim now they've torn the old mill down and your dress blues are on the ground now there's nothing left, just moss and tired trees Sweet orphan won't you say hello to the mill pond for me Sweet orphan come alive Slowly, softly,sweetly come alive Sweet orphan if you say it's true I'll believe you for awhile Sweet Orphan come alive I can't hear you voice any more
