Lyrics David Sylvian - Secrets of the Beehive - 1987 - Mother and Child

Mother and Child

Shadows form knights and pawns
Upon the squares
Blood is drawn up from the well

Secret signs brought the crimes
Right to your door
An innocent guilty as hell

Oh, the cost is open wide
Damp with milk and honey
Gone the mother and the child
In Jesus name

Oh, the cost is open wide
Damp with milk and honey
Gone the mother and the child
In Jesus name

Should they be waiting there
On my return
I may run into their arms
Walking on a razor's edge
Unconcerned

Game is lost again
I'll never learn
