Three Babies lyrics

Each of these my three babies

I will carry with me

For myself

I ask no one else will be

Mother to these three

And of course

I'm like a wild horse

But there's no other way I could be

Water and feed are not

Tools that I need for the

Thing that I've chosen to be

In my soul

My blood and my bones

I have wrapped your cold bodies around me, yeah

The face on you

The smell of you

Will always be with me

Each of these my

Three babies I

Was not willing to leave

Though I tried

I blasphemed and denied, I know

They will be returned to me

Each of these my babies have

Brought you closer to me

No longer mad like a horse

I'm still wild but not lost

From the

Thing that I've chosen to be

And it's

`Cause you've thrilled me

Silenced me

Stilled me

Proved things I never believed, oh

The face on you

The smell of you

Will always be with me

Each of these my

Three babies I

Will carry with me

For myself

I ask no one else will be mother

to these three
