Madeleine

Madeleine, what's up with those tears in your eyes?
What happened when you shut down
and all the amber lights turned into red?
In the silence of your cave, you feel safe
You decorate it with velvet drapes
Outside you see the dogwoods
But you don't know there's fields of gold ahead
Hold on, don't let go
Hold on, you'll know that help is on its way
Rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
The sun will come out again
Rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
The sun will be coming
Kiss you with honesty, love you unconditionally
Trust you and let you breathe
Give you back your dignity
So rise up, rise up, rise up little girl
As only you can Madeleine
Remember when we used to sit and watch from the bridge
Wondering where the ships would go
Who was on and what they would find out
You wrote it in a notebook
And said someday that this would be a story to tell
And you'd put it in a movie, maybe be the movie star
Something stole your tears and wiped your smile away
Hold on, don't let go
Hold on, you'll know that help is on its way
Rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
The sun will come up again
Rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
The sun will be coming
Kiss you with honesty, love you unconditionally
Trust you and let you breathe
Give you back your dignity
So rise up, rise up, rise up little girl
As only you can Madeleine
Let the sunshine warm your heart today
So rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
Rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
The sun will come out again
Rise up, rise up, rise up Madeleine
The sun will be coming
Kiss you with honesty, love you unconditionally
Trust you and let you breathe
Give you back your dignity
So rise up, rise up, rise up little girl
As only you can Madeleine
