(bkz: my brightest diamond)
Onece we had a robin
In our backyard
It was already dead
But we were so sure
That things weren't gone too far
So we prayed to God above
That He'd bring it back to us
So we put it in a jar
& waited & waited
& mama made us bury it
Mama made us bury it in the backyard
I wished to be just like my best friend
She was the brightest star in the room
Yeah but we didn't know what we had
With the world pressing in
On her backyard
She fell backwards
We prayed to God above
That He'd bring her back to us
So we put her in a box
We put her in a box
& waited
For something to happen
But nothing happened
& mama made me bury her
Mama made me bury her in the backyard
