(Woman)
Just another autumn's day
but one has never been so cold
Let this tainted secret of mine never be unfold
(Sister Catherine)
One hour from now you'll be expected, my love
God made it happen, you were sent from above
Waiting for the hour, we can hold you in our arms
Be welcome: feel safe, fine and warm
We all prepared to make place for an innocent bairn
with the right to be wanted, cherished and raised
Now for you we will care
yes, for you we will care
Sister Ann, draw up her bed
Make her bottle warm and nice
Roaring storm, outside it is cold as ice
Here you are baby, with your red rose cheeks
Though you're vulnerable you're not weak
Do not open your eyes, you have all the time now
Sleep among us, let your guard down
(Woman)
Through the streets I run
Run from all my thoughts
I left my baby
What have I done?!
I'm in a rush, feel dazed and worn out
Soothing my conscience, shouldn't feel any doubt
I trip and fall, feel cold to my bones
I fall into grace
Forgive me my sin, life left me no space
Your crying aches, echoes in my head
causing restless nights, waking in a sweat
And in day I dream about you, we sing eachother a lullaby
until the tears upon our cheeks forever dry, forever dry
I mourn for him, now mourn for you
Don't you cry I can't make it undo
Forlorn as I am, my choice has been made
Returning home, hope you will be okay
(Nuns)
The hour has come, she made up her mind
The future is clear, she set it right
What once was sent around can't be returned
She has lost the One, her paradise is burned
(Sister Catherine)
What do I see, hanging around your neck?
Silver shining in the dark
It appears to be some kind of a birthmark
A symbol of unknown origin
It might represent all that you are and will become
Once your descent will be unveiled
you will return Home
- You were so wrong!-
- Please forgive me, Josephine!-
- Will I ever see her again?-
- You will lose the child!-
- She will never find her way home!-
- The pendant will lead the way!-
