Child Bride

It’s hard to tell
This is my wedding night
I’m dressed and ready
Despite my innocence
It’s hard to tell
Whose little girl am I
The man with the black hat
Will take me home tonight
I wash my body
Five years grown
He promised father
Leave me alone
Hope not too lonely
We pull away
Down a dusty road
Family waving
Hope not too lonely
I watch the grass blow
Through the window
I’m a good grass widow
I’m a grass widow
News from the sparrow
My friendly fellow
They get along
Just fine without me
They’re never lonely
They’re never lonely
I watch the flowers grow
Outside my window
I’m a good grass widow
I’m a grass widow
