Nobody`s Baby Now Lyrics

Nobody`s Baby Now lyrics

I've searched the holy books
I tried to unravel the mystery of Jesus Christ,
the saviour
I've read the poets and the analysts
Searched through the
books on human behaviour
I travelled this world around
For an answer that
refused to be found
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's
nobody's baby now


I loved her then and I guess I love her
still
Hers is the face I see when a certain mood moves in
She lives in my
blood and skin
Her wild feral stare, her dark hair
Her winter lips as cold
as stone
Yeah, I was her man
But there are some things love won't
allow
I held her hand but I don't hold it now
I don't know why and I
don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now


This is her dress that
I loved best
With the blue quilted violets across the breast
And these are
my many letters
Torn to pieces by her long-fingered hand
I was her
cruel-hearted man
And though I've tried to lay her ghost down
She's
moving through me, even now
I don't know why and I don't know how
But
she's nobody's baby now
She's nobody's baby now
Nobody's baby
now
She's nobody's baby now
