Mary Gauthier - The Foundling lyrics

A baby A FOUNDLING Unwanted LOOKING Unloved and unblessed FOR Left on a doorstep HOME An unbidden guest WANDERS A shivering shadow THROUGH A child with no name DARKNESS Severed AND Surrendered TRAVELS Sinking in pain ALONE Conceived in the gale of a ruinous storm Partially k**ed, partially born Abandoned, abandoned, falling through space With nobody's eyes and nobody's face A foundling A child disconnected who no longer dries With a prisoners stare and an orphans eyes A free floating phantom held together by skin A small helpless stranger, a sign in the wind Washed into this work in fever and flood Tears remorse, sorry and blood Abandoned, abandoned left at the gate Cut loose un-tethered tattooed by fate A Foundling.
