Lyrics Half An Orphan - Tom Rosenthal

Half An Orphan

I’m half an orphan
I know it’s strange when I say it
But I don’t know how to put it otherwise
It’s now not a problem
When I wonder who to turn to
If I ever have a problem
I can’t ask you
Three becomes two
Two becomes one
One becomes none
And then you’re done
I’m still a cyclist
But with one stabiliser
Now I’m wobbling like
A drunk boy in a storm
I missed the lesson
Where they tell you how to keep on
But hey, I know a lot
About Henry’s wives
Three becomes two
Two becomes one
One bcomes none
And then you’r done
Rocks become roads
Roads become hellos
Hellos become goodbyes
And then you’re done
Mother, don’t be wild
Don’t go chasing the bad guys
'Cause I don’t have the legs
Let them get away this time
Mother, we got life
So don’t go for looking for a fight
'Cause I don’t have the might
To hold them all off
Three becomes two
Two becomes one
One becomes none
And then you’re done
Lows becomes highs
Highs have their time
Just like you and I
