From the day that you were born
Were you tryin to comfort me?
Were you tryin to put me on?
From the day that you were born?
Turned your starlight onto me
I turned my starlight onto you
Held you every night 'til dawn
From the day that you were born
Well your Mummy's beel alright with me
But your Poppy's been lost at sea
From the day that you were born
Tears won't leave me on my own
They been burning down
My home
I'm the lion with the thorn
From the day that you were born
With that starlight close to me
Been so hard to put you down
Were you trying to put me on
From the day that you were born?
Let your Poppy go home
