Paul Kelly - Incident On South Dowling lyrics

My baby was dying Turning so blue Four feet from me dying My head was like glue Loaded and sinking To the vegetable zone She just kept on sinking Now she's mineral and bone I couldn't save my baby We lived on the first floor We lived in two rooms Now my poor baby She lives with the worms A head full of rocks It's a heavy heavy head I was watching a movie Where someone looked dead Now people that whisper Now people they stare They say I couldn't save her Even though I was right there I couldn't save my baby We lived on the first floor We lived in two rooms Now poor baby She lives with the worms
