Lyrics for Song: Made By Maid
Lyrics for Album: I Speak Because I Can [2010]
They danced like sirens
Hoping the sun would come out again
And I was born in the fog of that day
Can they hear a babe, under all that faith
Or have they forgot what it was they made
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 are resolute, found their root
And brought me back to its place
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
So left to wander blind
I find myself in cautious times, and they say
Love's labor is 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
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 see a babe
Under all that blame
But I am forgot from the day I am laid
