In a river the color of lead
|
Immerse 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,
|
Oh, he said he'd cure your ills
|
But he didn't and he never will
|
Oh, save your life
|
Because you've only got one
|
The dream has 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 shoeless child on a swing
|
Reminds you of your own again
|
She took away your troubles
|
Oh, but then again she left pain
|
Oh, please save your life
|
Because you've only got one
|
The dream has 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
|
