lyrics

Shoehorned into the world
fought the air his lungs did swell
wise as a churchyard yew
bloody as a family feud
all dressed in blue and grey
waking to the day
cold as the frost that lined the ground
that wednesday morn

what’ll he say when he gets his tongue
what’ll he do when he learns to run
swift as a thunder clap
stealth as the hour hand
but now time is told
big red numbers bold
chasing the seconds of that day
that wednesday morn

I watch him grow like the grass
green as the bottle glass
high as the reeds
strong as the trees
my worker ant
walk on his hands like a clown
fall to the feather soft ground
rise to his knees mouth in a smile
my wednesday child

now I wait body full
dorsum arched head fearful
this crown’s a heavy one
wear it well my little one
this crown’s a heavy one
wear it well my little one
