A face broken upstairs I fall down

Tumbling I lose my ground

Paint my hair a blackened crown

Lift my head as I cry out



Did you hear me holler at you

to come save me I'm in danger

My pearls have fallen into mud

and you were too late



This breath precious to you

knocked from me

Taken so faintly and

I never feel 'till it's too late



Did you hear me holler at you

to come save me I'm in danger

My pearls have fallen into mud

and you are too late.
