Baby's Breath

Baby's Breath Lyrics

A little match blown out and thrown away
Too young, too old, too sad to say
When a baby comes crawling around
Mother is sadder for the things she's put in the ground

So you try to walk with your head up high but at night you lie in bed and
You cry
And your friends say it will get better
But they haven't been there
Or read your letter

(Chorus)

Cause you're a younger mother than you know you should have been
You've denied another and some say you sinned
You're a younger mother than you know you should be
You're calm as a river but still you blow by the sea

And my cousin cries cause a young baby dies
Blue eyes I find
But I can't lie
Cause it was just a year before
You decided you didn't want her anymore

And the things you took away
Now I'm saying what I said I'd never say
A baby's first breath
Won't be today
