1915 Songtext
A baby's born
Her father's not around
He's got a job, his hands are worn down
The baby's brother, one year older
Waits outside as it's getting colder on this April afternoon
She bore the mark of a half-broken heart
And the doctor said 'my, how strange'
Kathy never wanted a child
Baby girl, these tears won't be your last
As they soak into your blanket
I'm afraid you're bound for tragedy
So we'll take you home and lay you down to sleep..
To dream of ways to get out of this place
While your father drinks and your mother cries
You won't be the first to die
Baby girl, these tears won't be your last
As they soak into your blanket
I'm afraid you're bound for tragedy
Her father's not around
He's got a job, his hands are worn down
The baby's brother, one year older
Waits outside as it's getting colder on this April afternoon
She bore the mark of a half-broken heart
And the doctor said 'my, how strange'
Kathy never wanted a child
Baby girl, these tears won't be your last
As they soak into your blanket
I'm afraid you're bound for tragedy
So we'll take you home and lay you down to sleep..
To dream of ways to get out of this place
While your father drinks and your mother cries
You won't be the first to die
Baby girl, these tears won't be your last
As they soak into your blanket
I'm afraid you're bound for tragedy
