Al Kooper - Song And Dance For The Unborn Frightened Child lyrics

Kooper

Once I was someone looking for
Someone with nothing inside
Something I faced now the
Whole thing’s erased
It’s an old game I tried
Through a crowd of people staring
Not a face in fifty caring now
And yet I still continue to flow
Through a world I don't know
I hear the music of my life

Lips softly stalling the infant is
Calling let nobody hear
Checking my face to select the right places
For wrinkles of fear
We see the Christ child gently sleeping
Mad Madonna softly weeping now
And yet I still continue to flow
Through a world I don't know

I look at you and you look back at me
And we stare at each other in complete apathy
I’m so sad
Evening is poor but the morning’s allright
If you stay pressed to me
While the sun touches night i’ll be glad

Something of noone’s inherent in slow ones
The deft matricide you flee to the East on
The wings of the Beast
For a new place to hide
Life is only matter crumbling
Souls & moral conscience tumbling down
And yet I still continue to flow
Through a world I don't know
I hear the music of my life
