Simply crushed...

Such a voice...

God Bless the Child [written by Billie Holiday + Arthur Herzog Jr in 1939]
featuring David Clayton-Thomas...

And when you've got money
You've lots of friends
They're crowding around your door
But wait a minute, children
When the money's gone
And all you're spending ends
They won't be 'round anymore...
