Peter Hammill - Wilhelmina Lyrics
Willie, what can I say to you to hold true inyour changing life? You've come into a cruelworld : little girls can lose their way in thegrowing night ----- I hope you'll be alright.Willie, try to stay a child sometime, for as longas you feel you can learn. Babies all turn topeople, and people can really be strange : theychange and, changing, bring pain.Try to treat your parents well because they care,and what more can you do?When you find your lovers, be good to them asyou hope they'll be to you ------be honest,be true.Willie, you are the future; all our lives, in the end,are in your hands. Life's hard now --- you know,it gets harder, and hope is but a single strand;we pass it on and hope you'll understand....We know that we do it wrong, we're not so strongand not so sure at all; groping in our blindness,we may seem big now but, really, we're so smalland alone and searching for a home in the night.Meanwhile you're still a baby; you'll be a ladysoon enough and then you will feel the burn.So hold my words : people all turn to children,spiteful children, and they're really so cruel... cruel fools!Just follow your own rules -------don't think that I'm silly, Willie,if I say I hope that there is hope for you
