I Heard Someone Crying

Oooh...
I heard someone crying
Who though could it be?
Maybe it was mother
Calling out, "come see"
Maybe it was father
All alone, and lost, and cold
I heard someone crying
Maybe it was me

Oooh...

I heard someone singing
Who though could it be?
Maybe it was Lily
Calling out to me
Maybe she's not gone so far away, as I've been told
I heard someone singing
Maybe it was she

Maybe it was someone I could find, and have a cup of tea
Maybe it was someone who could bring the tea, and come find me

I heard someone crying
Though I can't say who
Someone in this house with nothing left to do
Sounded like a father left alone, his love grown cold
I heard someone crying
Maybe it was you

Maybe I was dreaming of a garden growing far below
Maybe I was dreaming of a life that I will never know

Someone's crying (Lily where are you? I'm lost without you)
Who though could it be? (I can't walk these halls without you)

Someone in this house (Lily where are you? I need you)
Whom no one seems to see (I have searched the world, but you're not there)
Someone no one seems to hear, except for me (Come, tell me why you brought me home when you're not here)
I heard someone crying (My Lily, where are you? I'm lost without you)
Maybe it was me (Lily, I'm lost without you)

Ohhh...

I heard someone crying
Who else could it be?
Surely, it was Mary
Why can no one see?
Crying for her mother
For the life she's never known
So lost
See her lying in her room, alone
