Still

I saw you stumble Out of the car After dark The hours took the light And took your place Our mother night You said it was a boy He didn't move His body blue You had no time to cry You shut your door And said goodnight And after it all You'll be the one I call In the middle of the night To tell you I'm still alive Still alive You held me in the street Our last goodbye You didn't cry I tried to be a man I left you there With blistered hands The days turned into black There was no joy I had no choice The night was bearing snow When I first saw The hooded crow And after it all You were the one I called In the middle of the night To say that I wanted to die I really tried There was another one Likeness to me But she is free A blanket never worn You were alone When I was born And after it all You're still the one I call In the middle of the night I'm sorry it's been a while I'm still a child I'm still your child
