lyrics

WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS
(Ian M. Bruce/Ian J.Walker)

CHORUS
Innocence won't see
The twisting of the tree.
Or how the trusted oak
Bent before it broke.

Running home from school
Brimmed with news to tell
But why the locked front door
And the need to ring the bell?
Seconds pass like hours
A neighbour lets her in
But how d'ya tell a child?
Where do you begin?

CHORUS

MIDDLE
No-one will ever know
How a heart can ache
Till they're left alone
When the bough breaks.

But heartaches gave her strength
To find her own way through
And from a broken bough
Another oak tree grew.

CHORUS
