Sweet Orphan
(Words and music by Kirk McLeod; arranged by Kirk McLeod, Eric Gast, and Dan Stacey)

Ooh, I swear this February`s cold
I stole a chance to hide down on Duboise Siding road
Feeling like an orphan looking for a home
Slowly I wake and the sky turns into gold
Right now, I think he`s headed down 15
To find a mill down there he says no-ones ever seen
His father took him there when he was just fifteen
Well, I don`t know but I could`ve sworn I`d been

Sweet Orphan won`t you say hello to the mill pond for me
Sweet orphan come alive

I know I promised I would stay
For at least a year or more and I`d work for half the pay
With a thousand voices ringing in my weary head
Softly they sing to me in bed

Sweet Orphan won`t you say hello to the mill pong for me
Sweet Orphan come alive
Sweet Orphan if you say it`s true I`ll believe you for a while
Sweet Orphan come alive

And the rain it whistles lonely on this [pond
And I think it`s sad you never learned to swim
Now they`ve torn the old mill down
And your dress blues are on the ground
Now there`s nothing left, just moss and tired trees

Sweet Orphan won`t you say hello to the mill pond for me
Sweet Orphan come alive
Slowly, softly, sweetly come alive
Sweet Orphan if you say it`s true I`ll believe you for a while
Sweet Orphan come alive
I can`t hear your voice any more
