Sometimes when I curl up in my bed, with the whisper of the night Sometimes with a tremor in her voice she sings a lullaby She talks about me but she doesn't say my name My eyes start to weep and she puts her hands on me If you wonder why I cry For the children that won't be born I guess that they deserve a tear Sometimes I tell her to leave me cos the sun is rising She'll caress my head and she'll wait until first light comes If you wonder why I cry For the children that won't be born I guess that they deserve a tear Night after night but this time I'll wake up shouting That my forces are back and I won't let them leave again If you wonder why I cry For the children that won't be born I guess that they deserve a tear Lady, I wanna be the last man you touch Lady, I wanna be the stars that light your night Oh yeah Lady I wanna be the man just by your side Rain or shine
