Misbegotten Child
from The Given by Colin Vearncombe
lyrics
Ah wish me back where I am from
She was as pretty as a picture
As she laughed and held my hand and kicked my toe...
And she spoke about you
I would have been nowhere but where we were
and it didn't seem to matter if she cared
So thought my heart was flipping, going: do! do! do!
She spoke about you
Misbegotten chile did you throw it all away,
now you try to hide your tears in the pouring rain?
I want to hear those violins, Feel those bumps and bells,
Know the devils groan in hell 'cause
they can't have you
Ah wish me back where I am fron
And take your hands off of my collar!
What you're going through's not what you're supposed to do
She spoke about you
She threw her head back
And she sang out your name
And I wondered what to do
And if I wanted to
So though my heart was flipping over,
gong do! do! do!
She spoke about you
Wish me back where I came from
She was as pretty as a picture
And she laughed and held my hand
and kicked my toe
And she still said "no"
She was as pretty as a picture
As she laughed and held my hand and kicked my toe...
And she spoke about you
I would have been nowhere but where we were
and it didn't seem to matter if she cared
So thought my heart was flipping, going: do! do! do!
She spoke about you
Misbegotten chile did you throw it all away,
now you try to hide your tears in the pouring rain?
I want to hear those violins, Feel those bumps and bells,
Know the devils groan in hell 'cause
they can't have you
Ah wish me back where I am fron
And take your hands off of my collar!
What you're going through's not what you're supposed to do
She spoke about you
She threw her head back
And she sang out your name
And I wondered what to do
And if I wanted to
So though my heart was flipping over,
gong do! do! do!
She spoke about you
Wish me back where I came from
She was as pretty as a picture
And she laughed and held my hand
and kicked my toe
And she still said "no"
