Mother And Child Lyrics

The song Mother And Child is performed by David Sylvian in the album named Secrets of the Beehive in the year 1992 .



Shadows form knights and pawns
Upon the squares
Blood is drawn up from the well

Secret signs brought the crimes
Right to your door
An innocent guilty as hell

Oh, the cot is open wide
Damp with milk and honey
Gone the mother and the child
In Jesus name

Oh, the cot is open wide
Damp with milk and honey
Gone the mother and the child
In Jesus name

Should they be waiting there
On my return
I may run into their arms
Walking on a razor's edge
Unconcerned

Game is lost again
I'll never learn
