Audrey Audrey was a girl that sat of my classroom She never said a word She just sat there furtively I never noticed her until I heard the radio Telling about the way she took her life Today it's all upon the covers of the papers About her folks at home I guess her daddy's a drinker Her mummy left her when she was just a tiny child Tell me Audrey Was that the first time you felt abandonment? Hold on baby, don't be sorry 'Cause every day has its ups and downs Hold on baby, there'll be sunshine 'Cause every life has its stormy nights Come to think about it There are some things I can't recall about her arms They had blue spots on them I remember then thinking these thoughts to myself Is it wrong to wonder about somebody else's problems I'm not burdened with that all Hold on baby.... Oh there There she lay down at the bottoms of the river Tell me, what crime did it take That tore this girls only willingness But I will pray That someday she'll rise again Well if you're up their I hope you can see my sorrow and pain of guilt I never asked you how you were But one thing I can assure you After witnessing, what has been done I will open my heart to the new girl that sits next door Hold on baby....
