lyrics

BABY DAVID


Calling all good spirits, put your hands over my hands.
If I promise not to move it, will you?
From ten to two tomorrow, a parade will go through town.
I am climbing up a ladder for the view.
The rich man with the poor boy soul who waits there at the top
with his eyes deep in his cups, he won't be moved.
Save yourself, he says, up here we're twenty-twenty blind.
We all make choices, believe me, be behind.


Feels like only yesterday,
the day this all began,
I had a baby.


Woman I am waiting in a forest with no trees,
I'll be wearing tears and sun, just like the sea.
Someday I will go to where the ocean has no shore,
though your love for me is endless, I want more.
Honey have a look at where the mirror has no frame,
what you see and what you are are not the same.
Cut me, I make scars to hide my scar you cannot see.
Into the forest with no trees come follow me.


Feels like only yesterday.
Feels like only yesterday,
the day this all began.
I want a baby.


A baby David, he can be my little man.
A baby David, he can be my little man.
