Lyrics
My Only Child
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.
My only child be not so blind
See what you hold
There are no words no ears no eyes
To show them what you know
Their hands are old
Their faces cold
Their bodies close to freezing
Their feelings find
The morning small
Too small to fill their ways with breathing
The evening tall
My only child remember well
The words that you are told
For some of them it is only easy to survive
Their hands are old
Their faces cold
Their bodies close to freezing
Their feelings find
The morning small
The evening tall
Man and wife are feasting the time
The time that lies behind
At home in sweetness and delight
Drinking the bitter wine
Their hands are old
Their faces cold
Their bodies close to freezing
Their feelings find
The morning small
The evening tall
