lyrics

Mama wanted a little girl
more than anything in the whole wide world
this was long ago but it still ain’t fair

Back into that warm dark night
guess her soul didn’t want it’s brand new home
the hell that her mother went through
she had to go alone

She could have been warm she could have been bright
set some of the wrongs in the world to right
every inch a queen
Victoria

and I’d ask him
why do you leave us alone
and I’d ask him
is there wisdom in this thing you’ve done
and I’d ask him
is there reason for the tears we shed
for a shivering bird that dies right in our hand?

Where are you now Victoria?

She could have been warm she could have been bright
set some of the wrongs in the world to right
every inch a queen
A name fit for a queen

about

Merlin Ball Vancouver, British Columbia

Merlin Ball draws on many musical atmospheres to create a singular space and mood. Net result: indie-driven stuff that blazes along under sombre skies and brilliant sunrises. How do you talk to someone 10,000 years away? This is Merlin Ball's attempt.
