David Sylvian Mother Child Lyrics

Mother Child Lyrics

Shadows form knights and pawns



Upon the squares



Blood is drawn up from the well



Secret signs brought the crime



Right to your door



An innocent guilty as hell







Oh, the cot is open wide



Damp with milk and honey



Gone the mother and the child



In jesus name







Should they be waiting there



On my return



I may run into their arms



Walking on a razors edge



Unconcerned



Game is lost again



Ill never learn
