Paroles de A bit of earth

A bit o' earth, she wants a little bit of earth
She'll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow
The flowers bloom but is their bounty
What she needs?

How can she chance to love a little bit of earth
Does she not know
That the earth is old
And doesn't care if one small girl wants things
To grow!

She needs a friend.
She needs her father, brother,sister, mother's arms
She needs to laugh
She needs to dance and learn to work her girlish charms
She needs a home!
The only thing she really needs i cannot give
Instead she asks for a bit of earth to make it live!

She should have a pony
Gallop across the moor
She should have a doll's house
With a hundred rooms per floor!

Why can't she ask for a treasure?
Something that money can buy that won't die?
When i'd give her the world
She asks instead for some earth

A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth
She'll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow
The flowers bloom
Their beauty just the thing she needs!

She'll grow to love the tender roses, lilies fair, the iris tall
But then in fall her bit of earth will freeze and kill
Them all!
Her bit of earth.
Her bit of earth.
Her bit of earth.
