lyrics

Your little laugh like a song
It fills the air
Sweetest melody, baby girl
Your little dolls warm your seat
In your favorite chair
Rock them to sleep, baby pearl

I can hear you
Crying out at night
I'll come for you I'll comfort you I'll cry with you
Baby Pearl

I only hear you now at night
Crying softly all alone
I know it's lonely there, baby girl
I only see you in your seat
Rocking slowly on your stone
Your dolls will keep you warm, baby pearl

Many parents, kind and good
Lost to them their little brood
Bless their Maker night and day
Though he took their all away
Shall we therefore murmur where
Standing unfilled one vacant chair

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
