Lyrics for Nobody's Baby Now
I鈥檝e searched the holy books I tried to unravel the mystery of Jesus Christ, the saviour I鈥檝e read the poets and the analysts Searched through the books on human behaviour I travelled the whole world around For an answer that refused to be found I don鈥檛 know why and I don鈥檛 know how But she鈥檚 nobody鈥檚 baby now I loved her then and I guess I love her still Hers is the face I see when a certain mood moves in She lives in my blood and skin Her wild feral stare, her dark hair Her winter lips as cold as stone Yeah, I was her man But there are some things love won鈥檛 allow I held her hand but I don鈥檛 hold it now I don鈥檛 know why and I don鈥檛 know how But she鈥檚 nobody鈥檚 baby now This is her dress that I loved best With the blue quilted violets across the breast And these are my many letters Torn to pieces by her long-fingered hand I was her cruel-hearted man And though I鈥檝e tried to lay her ghost down She鈥檚 moving through me, even now I don鈥檛 know why and I don鈥檛 know how But she鈥檚 nobody鈥檚 baby now
