Lyrics

June

Dreams can be so cruel sometimes
I swear I kissed your crying eyes
Dreams can be so cruel sometimes
I swear I kissed your crying eyes
A stillborn was still born
I am a father
A stillborn was still born
I am a father
Amend, amend, amend, amend
Amend, amend, amend, amend
Baby shoes for sale, never worn
Baby shoes for sale, never worn
Baby shoes for sale, never worn
Baby shoes for sale, never worn
Baby shoes for sale, never worn
Pretend
Amend, amend, amend
Amen, amen, amen, amen
