From the day that you were born
Were you trying to comfort me?
Were you trying to put me on
From the day that you were born?
Turned your starlight onto me
I turned my starlight onto you
Held you every night 'til dawn
From the day that you were born
Well your Mummy's been alright with me
But your Poppy's been lost at sea
From the day that you were born
Tears won't leave me on my own
They been burning down my home
I'm the lion with the thorn
From the day that you were born
With that starlight close to me
Been so hard to put you down
Were you trying to put me down
From the day that you were born ?
Were you trying to comfort me?
Were you trying to put me on
From the day that you were born?
Turned your starlight onto me
I turned my starlight onto you
Held you every night 'til dawn
From the day that you were born
Well your Mummy's been alright with me
But your Poppy's been lost at sea
From the day that you were born
Tears won't leave me on my own
They been burning down my home
I'm the lion with the thorn
From the day that you were born
With that starlight close to me
Been so hard to put you down
Were you trying to put me down
From the day that you were born ?
