The Little Pain The little pain like river runs In to the heart so locked and deep A feather falls a thousand tonnes The mine where even diamonds weep The little pain like drifts of snow A pile of pebbles on the beach A toy it winds just watch it go A shelf of sweets too high to reach The little pain like roaring wind That knocks the flower from it's feet The good intentions trashed and binned To win the race you can't compete The little pain like burning sun The acid tears of endless days To care not what bad has been done To care not what the starling says
