You were born into shade
Beautiful and pale
Your dad was always away
You gave birth in July
Since then my baby and I
Well, we hide away

Sorrys, seven years of sorrys
I was trying to catch your eye
Rolling, into the river you were caught in
I saw you flowing and couldn't swim back

Well, now your silence fading
It was too cold and shaking
I thought he saw you waving
I guess he wasn't trained
To be raised by someone unhappy
I took all the pain for him

Sorrys, seven years of sorrys
I was trying to catch your eye
Rolling, into the river you were caught in
I saw you flowing and couldn't swim back

Sorrys, seven years of sorrys
I was trying to catch your eye
Rolling, into the river you were caught in
I saw you flowing and couldn't swim back

You were born into shade
Beautiful and pale
Your dad was always away
