[00:00.52]Sara Melson - My Own Most Beloved Child
[00:24.88]Turned away from the good ones
[00:28.27]
[00:30.15]And I got burned by the bad
[00:33.36]
[00:36.04]I wouldn’t do it all over again
[00:39.93]
[00:40.49]If I knew what I had
[00:42.36]
[00:47.42]Now everybody is a mother and a wife
[00:51.47]
[00:53.22]And still I wander through
[00:55.69]This lonely gypsy life
[00:57.74]I better be my own most loving parent
[01:02.17]
[01:04.92]Be my own most beloved child
[01:07.41]
[01:10.66]Be my own most willing lover
[01:13.67]
[01:14.98]And let my spirit run wild
[01:17.60]
[01:22.53]One day soon I will be fatherless and motherless
[01:27.16]
[01:27.98]Each year I reach an age I never saw before
[01:32.08]
[01:33.64]I thought by now that a couple of kids would be playing on the floor
[01:40.88]
[01:45.31]But I made my bed and now here I lie
[01:48.61]
[01:51.92]With only me to blame
[01:54.67]
[01:57.10]With these old bones and wrinkled freckled skin
[02:00.91]
[02:01.41]And my old maiden name
[02:03.47]
[02:04.47]I better be my own most loving parent
[02:11.76]
[02:14.14]Be my own most beloved child
[02:16.77]
[02:19.95]Be my own most willing lover
[02:22.89]
[02:24.33]And let my spirit run wild
[02:27.00]
[02:31.56]I want to watch the world
[02:33.68]Through the eyes of a baby
[02:35.81]
[02:37.50]New and beautiful
[02:39.25]
[02:39.88]Mystical and crazy
[02:41.70]
[02:43.14]I want to have a strong man by my side
[02:46.07]
[02:47.70]You know I tried, I tried
[02:51.31]
[03:16.54]I’m gonna be my own most loving parent
[03:21.16]
[03:23.65]Be my own most beloved child
[03:26.27]
[03:29.46]Wrap my own loving arms around me
[03:34.39]And let my tears run wild
[03:36.82]
[03:39.52]I better be my own most loving parent
[03:44.34]
[03:46.77]Be my own most beloved child
[03:50.27]
