I can hear water running,
while I lay in the dark.
I drifted off into a daze,
that's when the noise start.
It's a baby crying over my soul.
Where is the parents, an average person would think.
The water is running to long,
I hope it don't run over the sink.
I imagined someone saying,
"Turn the water off, and please get the baby."
The water stopped then I heard a voice of an old lady.
Speaking softly she asked, "Where is your mama baby?"
An unknown voice said,
"In another country maybe,
see I was adopted when I was just a little baby,
my mama put me in the tub with the water running,
the water got so high I couldn't hollar."
While in a daze,
tears started falling,
but they didn't wet my face.
I opened my eyes only to see,
that the little baby crying was my soul underneath.
Water running took me back to the day,
when my mama lefted me in a cold wet place.
But when it stopped running an old lady came to take her place.
Now all my running water goes down the drain.
