Lyrics

My mother’s at the door
Like a thousand times before
Arms open wide no more, the moment I confess
Her steadfast love will go
And leave our happy home
To hear I’m dying I know would hurt her less
Call it self-defence or naive innocence
No distant voice or sense
Had called from deep inside
To say I’m carrying a brand new life within
Every sentiment to bring save joy or pride
It was nature, it was love
But it hurt the gods above
We are all his children except for me
We had no worldly view
No one ever said to you
Sometimes you’re helpless to
Stop passion’s urgent rise
But now I’m torn away
Through a violent cloud of shame
New birthdays, made-up names, a storm of lies
I hold my baby boy and weep
The child I ache to keep
Then I lay him down to sleep and then I walk away
God help a mother’s soul whose heart turns icy cold
When religion takes control mine has no say
