Miranda Stephens - The Egg Tree Lyrics

She said hello
With eyes like wells
She stayed awake
When darkness fell
Her tears like ghosts
Cried for no one
So we held her close
And brought her home

And she found her way
To the egg tree
The colors bright as day
She found her way
She's talkin'
My baby's swimmin' away

She held my hand
And now she's free
I look around
She's still coming back to me

Oh my baby she goes
La da da da
La de da
La da da da
La da

Her raggedy hair
Turned to curls
Despite ourselves
She became a little girl
She says let's go
I'm on my way
I follow her close because
I know she cannot stay

'Cause she found her way
To the egg tree
The colors bright as day
She found her way
She's talkin'
My baby's swimmin' away

The sky is new
I turn my key
I look around
I see the beautiful egg tree

So I go
La da da da
La de da
La da da da
La da

She held my hand
And now she's free
I look around
Won't you always come back to me

Oh my baby she goes
La da da da
La de da
La da da da
La da
La da da
La de da de da da
La da da
La de da da
