Broken Baby Blue
(a song about child abuse)
Little boy Blue why are you crying?
You look as if your heart has fallen down
Little boy Blue why aren't you standing?
Who left you here to tremble on the ground?

Look here's a sparrow come to comfort you
She's left a broken feather she can't use
She says that it has always been her favorite
Now maybe you can make it fly for you

'O sweet broken baby don't you cry tonight
Cause my arms were made to hold you
and my heart was sent to love you
Oh sweet baby don't be baby blue

Little boy Blue where is your sister?
I heard that she was taking care of you
Little boy Blue where is your shoe?
Who left you here so heartlessly, so blue?

Oh sweet broken baby don't you cry tonight
Cause my arms were made to hold you
and my heart was sent to love you
Oh sweet baby Blue don't cry

Here comes an angel just for you
She told me that she's taking you home
Oh sweet baby you are going home

There the trees are filled with candy
And your sister she's there too
And I'll miss you but I know
that you are going home
I know that you are going home

Oh sweet broken baby dont you cry
Cause my arms were made to hold you
And my heart was sent to love you
Oh sweet baby Blue dont cry
Oh sweet baby don't be baby blue
Oh sweet baby don't be baby blue
