lyrics

Seventeen years with a cross around her neck
The heart remembers what the body forgets
The child who comforts the mother who weeps
A rash and a ring, she had to burn the sheets

Hands too small to pray
Before she was taken away
She made

A tin cross
She made a little tin cross

Dowse the votives, bequeath the statuettes
The branch remembers what the axe forgets
The child whose faith salved a mother's doubt
A quick prayer before the lights go out

Hands too small to pray
Before she was taken away
She made

A tin cross
She made a little tin cross
