What has happend to Lulu, mother?
What has happend to Lu?
There's nothing in her bed but an old rag-doll
And by its side a shoe.
Why is her window wide, mother,
The curtain flapping free,
And only a circle on the dusty shelf
Where her money-box used to be?
Why do you turn your head, mother,
And why do tear drops fall?
And why do you crumple that note on the fire
And say its nothing at all?
I woke to 5 last night
I heard an engine roar.
Why do you tell me the things I heard
Were a dream and nothing more?
I heard somebody cry, mother,
In anger or pain
But now I ask you why, mother.
you say it was a gust of rain.
Why do you wander about as though
you dont know what to do?
