It was an ordinary fine summer's day
And she was walking home the usual way
Her neighbour was working in the paddock
And she waved at him without any panic
But she disappeared without a sound
One moment she just wasn't around
Others saw her disappear and were in fright
They ran to the place knowing it wasn't right
All there was left was a blue stain on ground
And they were sure she wasn't around
The police came out and a posse was formed
For a week they searched and it was doomed
It broke her parents as she was the only child
What do you do with no one to blame or to go wild
A year passed and life went on in the the town
The blue patch remained in place on the ground
And her parents visited the blue stained place
Hearing their daughter's voice, 'Help me in god's grace'.
