Veils, The - Advice for Young Mothers to be lyrics

rate me

She found the world embedded in the snow

Too bad the rest have made it all their own

There's got to be a better way somehow that I don't know

Wish I could find the words and heal my baby

She made a crib of blankets from the floor

Painted the bluest colour on the walls

I don't want to know the time, I don't care about that at all

Nobody knows the way to heaven, baby

This can't go on

Your advice for young mothers to be

Will never find the words

Darling, believe me

So here it is - your hearts out in the cold

The friends you kept still call you on the phone

The Vicar said it's wrong but, hey what does he know

He said it's wrong but that the lord forgave me

Well I don't want your pity and your scorn

Boy, why are you preaching

No ones listening anymore

That life of yours sickens me directly to my maternal core

No man alive has earned the right to save me

This can't go on

Your advice for young mothers to be

Will never find the words

Darling, believe me

This can't go on

Your advice for young mothers to be

Will never find the words

Darling, believe me

Now here I am - I'm pushing 24

I've got a house and a little terrace on the lawn

My baby's grown

And I'm happy as a fawn

Now only the beauty of the world delays me

This can't go on

Your advice for young mothers to be

Will never find the words

Darling, believe me

This crown of thorns

Your advice for young mothers to be

Will never find the words

Darling, believe me
