Spanna

SPANNA (1993)

You came far too early

And you found it hard to leave

You made your Momma pray

She got down upon her knees

You weighed less than a thing of milk

You were the mighty flea

But you'll always be Spanna to me

Your head resides above the clouds

And wanders recklessly

You scream so loud that no-one hears

You're lost upon the sea

Your Mother wanted Annie

Your Father wanted Lea

But you'll always be Spanna to me

You hide behind the walls

And get someone to tell you lies

You fall into the cracks

And never say your own goodbyes

You were present at the scene

With a hundred alibis

But you'll always be Spanna to me

I always said it made no difference

What you did there in your room

You might be writing books or hatching plots

Down there in the gloom

You might hide from your real name

Behind a nom de plume

But you'll always be Spanna to me
