Omar Rodríguez-López - This Night Has Opened My Eyes lyrics

In a river, the color of lead Emerged the baby's head Wrap her up in the news of the world Dump her on a doorstep, girl This night has opened my eyes And i will never sleep again You kicked and cried Like a bullied child A grown man of twenty-five He said he's cure your ills But he didn't and he never will So, so save your life Because you only got one The dream is gone but the baby is real Oh, you did a good thing She could have been a poet or she could have been a fool Oh, you did a bad thing And I'm not happy and i'm not sad A chivalrous child on a swing Remind you of your mom again? She took away your troubles Oh, but then again she left pain So, so save your life Because you only got one The dream is gone but the baby is real Oh, you did a good thing She could have been a poet or she could have been a fool Oh, you did a bad thing And I'm not happy and I'm not sad You did a bad thing You did a bad thing And I'm not happy and I'm not sad You did a bad thing You did a bad thing And I'm not happy and I'm not sad
