Mine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Blown in the winds of mischance
He would stay but that's not his way
What escape for her, she swims in the dark
In too deep but still waves
"I'm okay and I don't need his name, thank you
Mine fits me nicely, mine will do (yeah, mine will do)
Unsteady footsteps couldn't walk alone yet
He sends a postcard, he says he's in debts
Now she's treading water got a back room to let
Curses in the backyard, neighbours on the doorstep
You must give your child a name some time
Well you mean his, and what's wrong with mine?
(Yeah, what's wrong with mine)
Sometimes she could kill him
And sometimes this house gets too small
She drives him to distraction
To see if he will fall
But if the truth were told
Which it never is
With a family like that
Who needs enemies
She'd be better on her own
You sink her like a stone
