about

**New unpublished song

lyrics

I had a Daughter, I gave her away
I was too young, we were too young that's all I know how to say
I had a secret, I buried it away
But I never forgot here and all that I wanted was here to be happy and safe

Will you come looking for me one day
Will you want to know me at all
You can call me mother if you want to
I just want to know you child

There's no trail to follow
There's now way to know
When records are boxed up, when names are all blacked out
When stories go untold

Will you come looking for me one day
Will you want to know me at all
You can call me mother if you want to
I just want to know you, I just want to hold you child

Please don't think I didn't want you daughter
I was afraid, I was afraid and I couldn't see another way

Now fourty years have gone by, fourty years have flown
Here you stand flesh and bone, there you stand flesh and bone
Two strangers setting out on a road
