My Own Most Beloved Child

Turned away from the good ones

And I got burned by the bad

I wouldn’t do it all over again

If I knew what I had

Now everybody is a mother and a wife

And still I wander through

This lonely gypsy life

I better be my own most loving parent

Be my own most beloved child

Be my own most willing lover

And let my spirit run wild

One day soon I will be fatherless and motherless

Each year I reach an age I never saw before

I thought by now that a couple of kids would be playing on the floor

But I made my bed and now here I lie

With only me to blame

With these old bones and wrinkled freckled skin

And my old maiden name

I better be my own most loving parent

Be my own most beloved child

Be my own most willing lover

And let my spirit run wild

I want to watch the world

Through the eyes of a baby

New and beautiful

Mystical and crazy

I want to have a strong man by my side

You know I tried, I tried

I’m gonna be my own most loving parent

Be my own most beloved child

Wrap my own loving arms around me

And let my tears run wild

I better be my own most loving parent
