Little Neighbor

When they called asking for my mother and they
 Called asking for her and they
 Called asking for her
 I said wrong number I...
 I said wrong number I...
 I said wrong number when really oh, you know
 It's not quite what I meant
 The words are kind of right
 But we both know she is dead
 We spread her ashes on Italian gardens
 Keeping close to the ground so they wouldn't blow around
 We're on our knees on the dirt
 Putting her body back into the earth
 When they came asking for her I said...
 I said come later
 I said come later when really oh, you know
 It's not quite what I meant
 The words are sort of right
 But we both know she is dead...
 We spread her ashes on Italian gardens
 Keeping close to the ground so they wouldn't blow around
 We're on our knees on the dirt
 Putting her body back into the earth
 Little child go away
 Little neighbor leave me be
 You're too young to hear such things
 And I'm too young to speak of them
 So, Little child go away
 Little neighbor leave me be
 You're too young to hear such things
 And I'm too young to speak of them
 Little boy
 Little child go away
 Little neighbor leave me be
 You're too young to hear such things
 And I'm too young to speak of them
 So, Little child go away
 Little neighbor leave me be
 You're too young to hear such things
 And I'm too young to speak of them
 So, Little child go away
 Little neighbor leave me be
 You're too young to hear such things
 And I'm too young to speak of them
 Little boy
