Lletres: Malcolm Holcombe. For the Mission Baby. Another One Gone.
I see you in the backyard so sweet and so small
i been workin' ev'ry day for what's been missin' all along
you gonna fix up my problems you gonna fill up my cup
with a heartbeat so troubled and your bottomless love.
chorus
now what's wrong with livin' for another one gone
to a place made for givin' and children don't belong
i grew up hungry for a lil' baby boy
back in ol' west virginia i left her for the sea
some people they turn sick too frail to raise a child
me i just worry 'bout someone left behind.
chorus
there's a piece o' my heart and a drop o' my blood
somewhere on this earth and somewhere up above.
chorus
chorus
For the Mission Baby
