ah....see!

little dorcas from the orphanage!

so sweet!
so sweet little dorcas
she who loves me cause i love her
and pick her up and hold her when she is afraid

little little dorcas!

she was ***** when she was eight years old
it took me 2 years to gain her trust
so that she would even accept a  touch

now she lets me pick her up

sweet sweet little dorcas!

joey and mary are her friends
they protect her and defend her from
the fears she does not need

(or does she?)

sweet little dorcas from the orphanage
with her sometimes frozen stare
sweet little dorcas from the orphanage
who sometimes doesn't even know i'm there

(but i am)

years and years and years and years

and me and little dorcas

below the stars
