From the day that you were born Were you trying to comfort me? Were you trying 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 been 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 down From the day that you were born ?
