Melancholy Child Lyrics

	作词 : DiPiero, Tillis
	A baby with a baby just barely seventeen
	My mother mourned her innocence
	While she bounced me on her knee
	A daddy on the road added to her tears and trials
	Like silver rain they fell upon this melancholy child
	The sounds of my childhood still linger in my song
	My mother's lullaby that train that ran behind our home
	A whippoorwill on a window sill -
	It should have made me smile
	But everything sounds lonesome to a melancholy child
	Now a restless blood runs in our family
	I thought
	I could out run the emptiness inside of me
	So I went a little crazy, went a little wild
	Trying to outdistance my own melancholy child
	I met a kind and gentleman who thinks the world of me
	And when he looks my way it is a woman that he sees
	But when I can't explain to him the tears that fill my eyes
	He takes me in his arms and rocks his melancholy child
	You take a black
	Irish temper and some solemn
	Cherokee A
	Southern sense of humour and you got someone like me
	There are thorns on every rose to this
	I'm reconciled
	They're just a little sharper to a melancholy child
	And in my own babe's eyes
	I see the signs of melancholy child
	Heaven help us all, another melancholy child
