The dead child lay in the shroud,
And the widow watched beside;
And her mother slept, and the Channel swept
The gale in the teeth of the tide.
But the mother…
…
"'Tis the child that waits to pass."
And the nodding mother sighed.
"'Tis a lambing ewe in the whin,
For why should…
…pier,
Where the twisted weed was piled,
She came to the life she had missed by an hour,
For she came to a little child.
She laid it into her…

Johnny gave his life away to some broad
Would've gave up everything for her
He treated her like a god
Till one night thought he'd…
…heart break
I still remember how it all changed
My mother said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for…
…don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now
Yeah!
Don't you worry, don't you worry…

…he knew that there were those who would will her to die
And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet
And he heard a voice singing…
…wife for all time
Will there ever be another, in this life of mine
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child
So he climbed a…
…be your mother - I'll be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover - Your wife for all time

…not above crying
And when she puts on a show
The crowd goes wild in her favor
You know this is all an act
WAKE UP
You got
Too much…
…pride in your hate for me
Just show some sympathy
You're only disrespecting yourself
Just tell the truth
You're a liar!
Ohh there…
Too much pride in your hate for me
Just show some sympathy
You're only disrespecting yourself
Just tell the truth
You're a liar!
Ohh there you go and
You lie again
When you say
You love your child…

Went to see a band tonight
And they wouldn't play my favorite tunes
It's 2012 but I like the ones from 1992
There…
…by accident
And within five minutes
He was pronounced dead
I used to visit him with my father
When I was a child
I never saw Billy once…
…found forgiveness
And put her arms around the other mother and father's son
Told Gabriel to get back out there
Put up his fists…

What the fuck's the matter with you?
Was Mother not good enough, was I a fucking issue?
You begged for her to have me, crying…

I hope they cut your balls off, so this don't happen to another child

Still haunted by her everlasting fears
Of her father leaving and not wanting the same for her child
So every joy…

Dead with my death!

Leaves you alone for another;
And sickness, and the face of Fear by the bed;
The death of a father or mother;
Or shame for…

Death is better than Life!

She says, "No, you're not!" then she starts crying
