Unmarried Mother lyrics
Unmarried Mother lyrics
Sitting in the waiting room
of the Department of Social Security
waiting for her name to be called out
so that she may secure their charity,
she never thought that love could end at all like this.
It was never so in books.
A year ago and she was such a different girl:
grammar school, respectable qualifications.
She studied courses academic
with the best from university,
but the subject she most needed to succeed in
has brought misery.
Why ever did she never stop to think?
But then love's not quite like that.
Who ever can she turn to now?
Parents have turned their back on her,
disgrace to the family.
And so, surrounded by the weak
and those in need of our society,
she sits alone and waits,
rejected by the rules of our propriety.
How ever could we let her fall like this,
so gentle and so young?
Whatever do we really care about?
Heaven knows. I'm sure I don't.
Won't somebody tell me?
