She was a sinner like all other guardians
Bm Am Em
For of her daughter she was proud
Em Am Em
Went to the market on the third Sunday again
Bm Am Em
And there she vanished in the crowd
G D Em
Oh it wasn’t long ago you suckled to her breast
D G

Ones’ emaciation an others’ fat

Oh it wasn’t long ago you suckled to her breast

Now the lading days return and the want beckons the yearn

Bridge
Em Bm C
Crying emigrant at heart and an immigrant in mind
D Em
Touching all the trees to see if there was one with bark like mine

In denial we worried that this was never meant
D G
And on trial in the wake of all the prayers we never sent
G D Em
Oh it wasn’t long ago you suckled to her breast
D G
And how your eyes exploded as you took your first breath
G D Em
Now the lading days return and the want beckons the yearn
D C
To rise above the nest and to lay your head to rest

Forlorn but for the best
