The Foundling Lyrics - The Foundling - Mary Gauthier

A baby 

A FOUNDLING 

Unwanted 

LOOKING 

Unloved and unblessed 

FOR 

Left on a doorstep 

HOME 

An unbidden guest 

WANDERS 

A shivering shadow 

THROUGH 

A child with no name 

DARKNESS 

Severed 

AND 

Surrendered 

TRAVELS 

Sinking in pain 

ALONE

Conceived in the gale of a ruinous storm 

Partially killed, partially born 

Abandoned, abandoned, falling through space 

With nobody's eyes and nobody's face 

A foundling 

A child disconnected who no longer dries 

With a prisoners stare and an orphans eyes 

A free floating phantom held together by skin 

A small helpless stranger, a sign in the wind 

Photos 

Washed into this work in fever and flood 

Tears remorse, sorry and blood 

Abandoned, abandoned left at the gate 

Cut loose un-tethered tattooed by fate 

A Foundling.
