Warning

CLAIRE

So there it is, Clare it is as you feared

All these years of wonder, their closure draws near

A quiet kind of distance, a word I would not touch

Did I ever know my son at all? Well now I know too much

But where was the warning? How can this be?

I guess there are somethings we don't want to see.

Where was the warning to know this was coming?

Now what do I do with this news find numbing

Where was the warning, where was the warning?

And what if I liked the song I heard before,

The one I sang when my boy was born

All the dreams I had for him

They fade away, lost in words I could not say.

I wish that I could hold him,

God, he's all alone and scared

I should be there for him, I love him so

But I am not prepared

And where was the warning? His father will die

How do I tell him? He can't see me cry

Where was the warning? Don't tell anyone

I don't want their pity, I just want... my son

It's happened, it's happened,

And life is so strange

One simple word

And the whole world has changed

Could this really be my child?

My firstborn, my child

Playing in his cradle, so tender and mild...
