[Verse 1]
They danced like sirens, hoping the sun would come out again
And I was born in the fog of that day
Could they hear a babe, under all that faith
Or have they forgot what it was they made?

[Verse 2]
Crawled out of the fog, found a river
Found a log and floated away
Didn't think I'd be coming back this way
But my feet resolute, found their root
And brought me back to its place

[Verse 3]
And on the hill where I was born
There is a rose without a thorn
They cut it off each year and give it away
But can they hear a babe, after all these days
Or have they forgot what it was that they made?

[Verse 4]
So left to wander blind
I find myself in cautious times, and they say
Love's labors never lost
But labor on to this very day
So I walk into the fog
Find a babe atop a log, and all alone
Took him under, took him on
Taught him everything about the world I've come to know
[Verse 5]
He blames me for every wrong ever he made
I'm blamed for every wrong ever he made
Forgive me I am only a maid
Forgive me I am only a maid
But I can still see a babe
Under all that blame
But I am forgot from the day I am laid
