Kelly’s known as the neighbor’s daughter
On a hot day she uses her hands to pump water
She’s deaf and dumb, and blind as she can be
She sits on the grass under a sycamore tree
(Chorus 1〉
She’s defenseless
She’s vulnerable and meek
Her tongue it cannot speak
But she’s not always silent
‘cause sometimes people
Are cruel and evil
So inside there’s upheaval
She bеcomes suddenly violent
Thе children play a game with her that’s not sincere
They spin her around and round till she’s dumb struck with fear
‘til a wind came by blowing so frail
She became frightened and started following the rail
She sits in the corner
Pulling on her hair
Or sitting by the stairs
After breaking all the vases
The books on the shelf
She’ll never understand
So she reaches out her hand
And she tries to read your face
She sits and wishes
To see her inside her
But everything’s a blur
And sweat’s filling her brow
She’s pernicious
Trusting no one else
Not even trusting in herself
She got to find her way somehow
