Polish Daughter |
She was a sinner like all other guardians |
For of her daughter she was proud |
Went to the market on the third Sunday again |
And there she vanished in the crowd |
Oh it wasn’t long ago you suckled to her breast |
And how your eyes exploded as you took your first |
Breath |
Now the lading days return and the want beckons the yearn |
To rise above the nest and to lay your head to rest |
Forlorn but for the best |
Immigrants come and emigrants go |
Tell me why is it like that? |
Emigrant at heart and an immigrant in mind |
Ones' emaciation an others' fat |
Oh it wasn’t long ago you suckled to her breast |
And how your eyes exploded as you took your first |
Breath |
Now the lading days return and the want beckons the yearn |
To rise above the nest and to lay your head to rest |
Forlorn but for the best |
Crying emigrant at heart and an immigrant in mind |
Touching all the trees to see if there was one with bark like mine |
In denial we worried that this was never meant |
And on trial in the wake of all the prayers we never sent |
And it wasn’t long ago you suckled to its breast |
And now your eyes implode as you take your last breathe |
Now that lading days return the want gives into yearn |
Returning to your nest you lay your head to rest |
Forworn but for the best |
