Tomorrow's Child Lyrics

I stumble cold

Up the steps

And church bells ring

Against my theft

Sacred cow

Slaughtered calf

Wisdom tells

Of higher crafts

Now would you cry

Up towards holy light

And fear the law

Taught by grinning men

Walk the burning path

Laid by poets raw

Sunken eyes

Seeking other lives

Teach me words

I cannot speak

And grant me vision

Into waters deep

Rip my throat

From aft to bow

Throw me over

And let me drown

In the morning

When the singing ends

Light displays

Our casual plans

I turn to you

And give a smile

And then you leave

Tomorrow's child

In the morning

When the singing ends

Light displays

Our casual plans

I turn to you

And give a smile

And then you leave

Tomorrow's child

Teach me words I cannot speak

Grant me vision into waters deep

Teach me words I cannot speak

Grant me vision into waters deep

In the morning

When the singing ends

Light displays

Our casual plans

I turn to you

And give a smile

And then you leave

Tomorrow's child

In the morning

When the singing ends

Light displays

Our casual plans

I turn to you

And give a smile

And then you leave
