When I was five
Learned you were alive
How did you survive, Mr. Robertson
When you went to jail
I knew how to spell
Why didn't you write, Mr. Robertson
I was your third
Her only one
The things I've heard
That you've done
So absurd
Not one word
From you, Mr. Robertson
You don't know me
And I (I) don't (don't) know you, Mr. Robertson
Abandoned young, taken in by a coven
I'd receive unconditional lovin'
Never to be seen in the house of my brethren
Given some time, I'd be missing nothin'
Was damn near grown
You tried to come back home
Your heart made of glass
My heart turned to stone
Too many years had passed
To the door you were shown
Goodbye, Mr. Robertson
You don't know me
And I (I) don't (don't) know you, Mr. Robertson
I can't love
A man that I barely know
Let you go
The one absent
Is never the parent, Mr. Robertson
Abandoned young, taken in by a coven
I'd receive unconditional lovin'
Never to be seen in the house of the brethren
And given some time, I'd be missing nothin'
