Story behind the song
My aunt had her child taken away from her for adoption when she became pregnant at sixteen.
Lyrics
given away like the jumble
it was four oclock in the morning
and she was on her third coffee
the streetlight forming a shroud like some Joan of Arc
but melodrama s not her cup of tea
she wore a band of gold and a barbed wire crown
and sat the cat upon her knee
who stole the cream dear
she d found a four leaf clover pressed in a book
does that still qualify for luck
like a second hand god or a horoscope
it meant nothing but she d take a look
she placed it deep in her purse
where it sat more like a curse
reminding her with every look
of the page it came from
and she would search the world every where for you
if only she could search this world every where for you
and she has searched her mind every where for you
it s said that time heals all
even after a fall
and since been unable to stand tall
the routine toast for the kids
drops off her dustbin lids
it s like a game with a bat but no ball
she makes a move to the phone
knowing the risks to her home
if she dares to make that call
is the time now
and she would search the world every where for you
if only she could search this world every where for you
cos she has searched her mind every where for you
it was the way it was then like giving away some old clothes to the jumble she cant believe how easy it was but she was given no choice and it gets harder and harder the risk of contact why was it kept a secret bad advice why was it kept a secret bad advice why was it kept a secret bad advice
