Robert Hunter - Children's Lament lyrics



When a child is being born
Cut the cord and tie a knot
Be sure you cut it with a keen blade
Life is sort and full of thorns

Clear his throat
Be sure he cries out
Wash him clean and keep him warm
You gave him life
The truest thing you'll ever give
And his time will come
When your work is done
When your work is done

Won't you sing, Melinda
Won't you sing for me?
While the rain
While the rain is falling down
Slowly falls the rain outside
Won't you sing, Melinda, sing
Won't you sing
One last song for me?
