Lal & Mike Waterson "Song for Thirza" (demo version)

Album "Bright Phoebus" - Special Edition w/demos Voice: Norma Waterson I do not own the ©rights SONG FOR THIRZA You were brought from the workhouse to live with us And you named yourself Dog on a very bad day And I strayed in my youth and lost my precious dog Whilst gazing through another new day Where are you now my precious running dog Who ran after me in my growing days? Whilst hiding behind your bedroom door Or kneeling on those scary attic stairs I'd listen to the private conversations That you had when you thought there was no-one there Where are you now my precious running dog Who ran after me in my growing years? Wooden bed, rosary under pillow on the head Exaggerating so she could understand what I said And often I tried to teach her my name Because she didn't know it she never could say it Too young was I and too late I tried To reach out for the flower when she died I've recently lost a very precious running dog Who ran after me in my growing years And if I could bring back my running dog I'd shower her with kisses and with tears Where are you now my precious running dog Who ran after me in my growing years?
