this night has opened my eyes - frank orrall lyrics
[verse 1]
in a river the color of lead
immerse the baby’s head
wrap her up in “the news of the world”
dump her on a doorstep, girl
this night has opened my eyes
[verse 2]
you kicked and cried like a bullied child
a grown man of twenty*five
oh, she said she’d cure your ills
but she didn’t and she never will
oh please, save your life
’cause you’ve only got one
[chorus]
the dream has gone but the baby is real
you did a good thing
oh, could havе been a poet or could have been a fool
you did a bad thing
and i’m not happy and i’m not sad
[verse 3]
a shoelеss child on a swing
reminds you of your own again
aw, she took away your troubles
but then again, she left pain
this night has opened my eyes
and i will never sleep again
[chorus]
the dream has gone but the baby is real
you did a good thing
could have been a poet or could have been a fool
you did a bad thing
and i’m not happy and i’m not sad
