I
came upon a butcher
He was slaughtering a lamb
I accused him
there
With his tortured lamb
He
said, "Listen to me, child"
"I am what I am"
"And
you, you are my only son"
Well,
I found a silver needle
I put it into my arm
It did some
good
Did some harm
But
the nights were cold
And it almost kept me warm
How come the
night is long?
I
saw some flowers growing up
Where that lamb fell down
Was I
supposed to praise my Lord
Make some kind of joyful sound?
He
said, "Listen, listen to me now"
"I go 'round and
'round"
"And you, you are my only child"
Do
not leave me now
Do not leave me now
I'm broken down
From a
recent fall
Blood
upon my body
And ice upon my soul
Lead on, my son, it is your
world
