Janis Ian - Orphan of the Wind lyrics
[Janis Ian - Orphan of the Wind lyrics]
Cry for the mother of the child of sin
There is no other way to bridge the gap
That's made in the life of an orphan
I'm holding back the tears
They stumble from the bow
I'm holding back the tears
They stumble, here and now
Child of sin
Ride with your mother on a wave of wind
There is no other way to let you in
All the palace doors are closing
I swear it wasn't her
I thought she was a bird
I swear it wasn't her
I thought she was a bird
N'da doo, remain, explain
N'da doo, the shell of pain
Is lashing out on firstly
I swear it wasn't him
The shepherd's child of sin
I swear it wasn't him
The lonely child of sin
So lonely wind
Cry for the mothers of the children of sin
There are no other ways to let them in
All the palace doors are closing
I swear it wasn't him
The shepherd's child of sin
I swear it wasn't him the orphan of the wind
The orphan of the wind
The orphan of the wind
