John Porter - The Pa**ion lyrics

The fear of a daughter can run high In the mind of a father to be For something is growing inside But we don't talk about it, do we? In the long empty pa**ionless night Many times to herself she has prayed That the baby will love her much more Than the big boy who stole her away And sometimes it takes a grown man a long time to learn Just what it would take a child a night to learn And sometimes it takes a grown man a long time to learn Just what it would take a child a night to learn It pains her to know that some things will never be right If the baby is just someone else to take sides in a fight Harsh words between bride and groom The distance is greater each day He smokes alone in the next room And she knits her life away And sometimes it takes a grown man a long time to learn Just what it would take a child a night to learn And sometimes it takes a grown man a long time to learn Just what it would take a child a night to learn A long time ago she saw visions on the stairs And when she felt dizzy, her mother was always there The home help is no help at all I have not committed a crime Angels gaze down from the wall Is there a God? Is there a next time?
