Lyrics
Nobody's Baby Now
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.
I'll search the holy books
I'll try to unravel the mystery of Jesus Christ the Savior
I read the poets and the analysts
Searched through the books on human behavior
I've traveled this world round
For an answer that refused to be found
I don't know why, and i don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now..
I loved her then, and i guess i love her still
Hers is the face i see when a certain mood moves me
She lives in my blood and skin
Her wild feral stare, her dark hair
Her little lips, as cold as stone
Yeah, i was her man
But there are some things love won't allow
I held her hand, but i don't hold it now
I don't know why, and i don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now..
This is her dress, i loved best
With the blue quilted violets across the breast
And these are my many letters
Torn to peices by long-fingered hands
I was her cruel-hearted man
And though I try to lay her ghost down
But she's moving through me even now
I don't know why, and i don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now..
She's nobody's baby now
Nobody's baby now
