Like A Motherless Child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child So far from home verse 1 - Moby This was life and this was safer All was strange and always stranger I laid but so much I’m never safe from all this danger The demon’s eyes and demon satyr I was bait but what would bait her? Don’t know my needs don’t know my ways I hide my face no way to face her This was loss this was name This was my truth this was no game This was not hope this was not sane And from these broken places made That was loss and this was later I wanted less but nothing greater I couldn’t leave I couldn’t stay Like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child So far from home verse 2 - Moby This was loss and this was later Always hate but never hate her I laid in wait but so much later And never safe from all this danger The demon’s eyes the demon satyr I was bait but what would bait her Don’t know my needs don’t know my ways I hide my face no way to face her This was loss this was name This was my truth this was no game This was not hope this was not sane And from these broken places made That was loss and this was later I wanted less but nothing greater I couldn’t leave I couldn’t stay Like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child So far from home So far from home
