Honey Child
In a darkened alley down on her knees
A skinny little girl who just turned fourteen
If she only knew that she knows now
Her meeting with the maker would be distant and far
She's sad and lonely, got nothing but grief
Her tear filled eyes can't see no relief
Instead she's shooting her way to the stars
What's left on faith is going straight up the arms
Honey child, put those needles down
It brings me pain to see you this way
Honey child, it's bringing me pain
She had a brother he was her friend
She stayed with him until he reached the end
Now she's alone cause they had runaway
When she called home they said where are you can't stay
I knew him well as well as his sister
If she died, oh how I'd miss her
She used to tell how life was a game
How she would win and reach fortune and fame
Honey child, put those needles down
It brings me pain to see you this way
Honey child, it's bringing me pain
Honey child, put those needles down
Honey child, it's bringing me pain
Oh, yeah
Niña Dulce
En un callejón oscuro, de rodillas está
Una niña flaca que apenas tiene catorce
Si tan solo supiera lo que sabe ahora
Su encuentro con el creador sería distante y lejano
Está triste y sola, solo tiene dolor
Sus ojos llenos de lágrimas no ven alivio
En cambio, se dispara hacia las estrellas
Lo que queda de fe se va directo a sus brazos
Niña dulce, deja esas agujas ya
Me duele verte así, de verdad
Niña dulce, me está causando dolor
Tenía un hermano, él era su amigo
Se quedó con él hasta que llegó al final
Ahora está sola porque se escaparon
Cuando llamó a casa, le dijeron que no podía quedarse
Lo conocía bien, igual que a su hermana
Si ella muriera, oh, cómo la extrañaría
Solía contar cómo la vida era un juego
Cómo ganaría y alcanzaría fortuna y fama
Niña dulce, deja esas agujas ya
Me duele verte así, de verdad
Niña dulce, me está causando dolor
Niña dulce, deja esas agujas ya
Niña dulce, me está causando dolor
Oh, sí
