about

Performed live on Saint FM (Essex) - August 2012

lyrics

I was young, it was my very first time
Held down as he whispered “Now you're blessed”
The shame the blame, the hushed up crime
A baby in me, a cuckoo in our nest

Chorus:
She wears her tears all day
She wears her tears like make up
And she's stopped feeling their rain
Splashing circles in her tea cup.
She says “My name is Mary, let me explain.”


He was always such a strange child
Restless spirit, restless mind
Always searching for his father
Afraid of what he might find

Chorus


I always tried to be a good mother
Tried to teach him wrong from right
But he turned his back upon me
When he stood by his father's side.

Chorus
