lyrics

Lucky Number Seven

I miss the sunshine
I miss a grey cloud too
Nothing seems right here without her
Nothing feels right here without her
She was my bride dear
So young and pretty like the sky
But winter was hard here
So she'll laugh no more
Winter was hard here
So she'll cry no more
We witnessed life here
A beautiful boy so soft and fine
I do not want him
She sobbed as he cried
How could you not love such a beautiful child
He is my true love's
The child of another man
My one love's dead now
Been sent off to hang
The boy's a reflection of love that has passed
She would not touch him
She could not bear the sight
My back was turned when she poisoned her cup
She drank it down so she'd never wake up
He has no food here
Cold bitter wind blows through the field
I tried to keep him warm through the night
I could not keep him alive through the night
I laid him with her
They formed a picture of a birth
But images serve man a plate of deceit
As what was once life has been taken from me
i am a ghost now no longer feeling of this world
But sadness and love for my wife of the sky
Sadness and love for the abandoned child
