about

This song came from a poem by the awesomely talented Hannah Murgatroyd...

lyrics

The child picked up a silver pebble
Thrown, tide-up, on a silver beach
The child picked up a silver pebble
Thrown, tide-up, on a silver beach

"Open it, open it!"
Baby boy said as I held it.
"I can't, my love. I can't."

Well I had to tell him
Some things are secrets
All you can do is smash them to nothing.

"Open it, open it!"
Babyboy said as I held it.
"I can't, my love. I can't."

Well he looked at it
He took his foot and he jumped on it,
But unlike his heart when he grows up
It did not give out.

"Open it, open it!"
Babyboy said as I held it.
"I can't, my love. I can't."
