Introduction
She found the world embedded in the snow
It's too bad the rest have made it all their own

There's got to be a better way somehow that I don't know

Wish I could find the words and heal my baby


She made a crib of blankets from the floor
Painted the bluest color on the walls
I don't want to know the time. I don't care about that at all

Nobody knows the way to heaven, baby


No, this can't go on

Your advice for young mothers to be
will never find the words
Darling, believe me
So here it is your heart's out in the cold
The friends you kept still call you on the phone
The vicar said it's wrong but hey, what does he know?
He said it's wrong but that the Lord forgave me
Well, I don't want his pity and your scorn
Boy, why you preaching? 
No one's listening anymore
That life of yours sickens me directly to my maternal core
No man alive has earned the right to save me
No, this can't go on
Your advice for young mothers to be will never find the words
Darling, believe me

Now here I am. I'm pushing 24
I've got a house and a little terrace on the lawn
My baby's grown
 and I'm as happy as a fawn
Now only the beauty of the world delays me
No, this can't go on
Your advice for young mothers to be
will never find the words
Darling, believe me
No, this crown of thorns

Your advice for young mothers to be
will never find the words

Darling, believe me
