Single Mother

oh tell me single mother
i'll hang on every word
what you have to do these days
to get your story heard

i'm not taking any chances
this' my only interview
i met a single mother
and the damsel fit the shoe
single mother did i tell you
you must wait for your reward
when you need a new beginning
and you don't know where to start

you won't hear my confession
this is just an interview
i say the word you take it down
that's all there is to you
how can a heart once empty
become so full of noise
obscuring what little view i have
of the blue eyed little boy

single mother 's gone into hiding
little traces i found
where our home with no exception
would move its daily ground
i find it sometimes hard to handle
but i will not ask for more
i'll trade salvation at a glance
for a blanket on the floor

and here 's why single mother
i'm calling off the search
all i can see is foul play
and schism in the church
