|
In a river, the color of lead |
|
Emerged the baby's head |
|
Wrap her up in the news of the world |
|
Dump her on a doorstep, girl |
|
This night has opened my eyes |
|
And i will never sleep again |
|
You kicked and cried |
|
Like a bullied child |
|
A grown man of 25 |
|
He said he's cure your ills |
|
But he didn't and he never will |
|
So--so save your life |
|
Because you only got one |
|
The dream is gone but the baby is real |
|
Oh--you did a good thing |
|
She could have been a poet or she could have been a fool |
|
Oh--you did a bad thing |
|
And i'm not happy and i'm not sad |
|
A chilvirous child on a swing |
|
Remind you of your mom again? |
|
She took away your troubles |
|
Oh--but then again she left pain |
|
So--so save your life |
|
Because you only got one |
|
The dream is gone but the baby is real |
|
Oh--you did a good thing |
|
She could have been a poet or she could have been a fool |
|
Oh--you did a bad thing |
|
And i'm not happy and i'm not sad |
|
You did a bad thing |
|
You did a bad thing |
|
And i'm not happy and i'm not sad |
|
(repeat 2x) |
