Still

I saw you stumble
Out of the car
After dark

The hours took the light
And took your place
Our mother night

You said it was a boy
He didn't move
His body blue

You had no time to cry
You shut your door
And said goodnight

And after it all
You'll be the one I call
In the middle of the night
To tell you I'm still alive
Still alive

You held me in the street
Our last goodbye
You didn't cry

I tried to be a man
I left you there
With blistered hands

The days turned into black
There was no joy
I had no choice

The night was bearing snow
When I first saw
The hooded crow

And after it all
You were the one I called
In the middle of the night
To say that I wanted to die
I really tried

There was another one
Likeness to me
But she is free

A blanket never worn
You were alone
When I was born

And after it all
You're still the one I call
In the middle of the night
I'm sorry it's been a while
I'm still a child
I'm still your child
