I was born a liar in the twilight dawn When my mother sang to me a royal hymn, a royal psalm & I never heard the sound Of the minor morning until now I was left to living in the middle of the blood When my father came to me with the emptiness of love & I never felt the fate Of the sparkling city for just a day Lord I must confess that I long to pretend Long to come back anew & to be born again But tomorrow never comes Never fast enough Darling you know it's true Baby blue You can stumble through the night But I will always be waiting up for you Baby blue You know it's true I'll always be waiting up for you I was left to drown with the holy ghost & my only son would see but he'd never ever know That I never saw the light Of the drunk & dying shadowed night Lord I must confess that I long to pretend Long to come back anew & to be born again But tomorrow never comes Never fast enough Darling you know it's true Baby blue You can stumble through the night But I will always be waiting up for you Baby blue You know it's true I'll always be waiting up for you
