Mary Gauthier - The Foundling lyrics

rate me

<b>The Foundling</b> by <i>Mary Gauthier</i><br />A baby

A FOUNDLING

Unwanted

LOOKING

Unloved and unblessed

FOR

Left on a doorstep

HOME

An unbidden guest

WANDERS

A shivering shadow

THROUGH

A child with no name

DARKNESS

Severed

AND

Surrendered

TRAVELS

Sinking in pain

ALONE

Conceived in the gale of a ruinous storm

Partially killed, partially born

Abandoned, abandoned, falling through space

With nobody's eyes and nobody's face

A foundling

A child disconnected who no longer dries

With a prisoners stare and an orphans eyes

A free floating phantom held together by skin

A small helpless stranger, a sign in the wind

Washed into this work in fever and flood

Tears remorse, sorry and blood

Abandoned, abandoned left at the gate

Cut loose un-tethered tattooed by fate

A Foundling.
