lyrics

New-Born Babe
(Cardier)

New-born babe -
Don’t know nothin’ bout the ways of the world
Or astronauts up on the moon
Or witches on brooms.

New-born babe -
Don’t know nothin’ bout the politics of people
Or chess pieces or old churches -
You just know your mother.

New-born babe -
Don’t know nothin’ bout the way it’s gonna be
Or clown faces or masterpieces
Or love affairs or rockin’ chairs.

I see you sleepin’ away.

Gettin’ older every day.
