Little Neighbor

When they called asking for my mother and they
Called asking for her and they
Called asking for her
I said wrong number I...
I said wrong number I...
I said wrong number when really oh, you know
It's not quite what I meant
The words are kind of right
But we both know she is dead

We spread her ashes on Italian gardens
Keeping close to the ground so they wouldn't blow around
We're on our knees on the dirt
Putting her body back into the earth

When they came asking for her I said...
I said come later
I said come later when really oh, you know
It's not quite what I meant
The words are sort of right
But we both know she is dead...

We spread her ashes on Italian gardens
Keeping close to the ground so they wouldn't blow around
We're on our knees on the dirt
Putting her body back into the earth

Little child go away
Little neighbor leave me be
You're too young to hear such things
And I'm too young to speak of them
So, Little child go away
Little neighbor leave me be
You're too young to hear such things
And I'm too young to speak of them
Little boy

Little child go away
Little neighbor leave me be
You're too young to hear such things
And I'm too young to speak of them
So, Little child go away
Little neighbor leave me be
You're too young to hear such things
And I'm too young to speak of them
So, Little child go away
Little neighbor leave me be
You're too young to hear such things
And I'm too young to speak of them
Little boy
