Child Of Clay Lyrics

CHILD OF CLAY

 Jimmie Rodgers

 

 Into the darkness he was sent by parents'

 Who were ignorant hm, hm

 Tied down to his mother's strings

 Unable to be anything hm, hm

 Puzzled by the things he hears

 The father thinking work comes first

 Ain't got the time to quench a thirst

 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

 Once he was a child, a beautiful child

 A child of clay shaped and molded

 Into what he is today

 But who is to blame for this child of clay

 

 Going out into the street at night

 The answers he may meet hm hm

 With sick and twisted minds

 He shares the searching questions

 His heart bears hm hm

 And from the dregs

 The answers find their way into his supple mind

 In time the planted seeds will grow

 Into a twisted vine below

 No, no, no, no, no, no, no,

 No, no, no, no, no, no, no,

 

 And now his aimless days begin

 To drift into sordid sin hm, hm

 And soon his dislike turns to hate

 As the stamp of life seals his fate hm, hm

 and so the night conceals his name

 And the days sleep off his shame

 Deprived of love and wrought by fear

 A feeling that the end is near

 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

 No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
