My Worry
Listen to Julie ...
There’s a worry in my garden
stalking in the hedge,
it shakes the branches and the leaves
but I think mine is worse.
There’s a worry in my kitchen
buried in the sink,
the pots and pans come crashing down
but I think mine is worse.
A worry lives in my bedroom
hiding in the dark,
it scares me with its shadows and cries
but I think mine is worse.
My worry sits on my head
throbbing loud inside,
it really won’t leave me alone,
I know mine is worse.
stalking in the hedge,
it shakes the branches and the leaves
but I think mine is worse.
There’s a worry in my kitchen
buried in the sink,
the pots and pans come crashing down
but I think mine is worse.
A worry lives in my bedroom
hiding in the dark,
it scares me with its shadows and cries
but I think mine is worse.
My worry sits on my head
throbbing loud inside,
it really won’t leave me alone,
I know mine is worse.
