The Passion Lyrics

The song The Passion is performed by Billy Bragg in the album named Volume 1 in the year 2006 .



The fear of a daughter runs high
In the mind of a father to be
For something is growing inside
But we don't talk about it, do we?

In the long empty pa*sionless night
Many times to herself she has prayed
That the baby will love her much more
Than the big boy who stole her away

And sometimes it takes
A grown man a long time to learn
Just what it would take
A child a night to learn

And sometimes it takes
A grown man a long time to learn
Just what it would take
A child a night to learn

It pains her to learn
That some things will never be right
If the baby is just
Someone else to take sides in a fight

Harsh words between bride and groom
The distance is greater each day
He smokes alone in the next room
And she knits her life away

And sometimes it takes
A grown man a long time to learn
Just what it would take
A child a night to learn

And sometimes it takes
A grown man a long time to learn
Just what it would take
A child a night to learn

A long time ago
She saw visions on the stairs
And when she felt dizzy
Her mother was always there

The home help is no help at all
I have not committed a crime
Angels gaze down from the wall
Is there a God? Is there a next time?
