Keppie Coutts, Maria Alfonsine, Damian de Boos-Smith - Baby Mine

A lovestruck woman-child, before her son was born
Sees nothing up ahead but the dawn
Knows the warnings well, nothing's ever this pure
There is always a price to pay for love
There is always a price to pay for love

The mothers of folktale, did some awful things
Sent their kids to the woods, cut off their wings
Spinning straw in hope of gold, making ravens sing
They say they did it all in the name of love
They say they did it all in the name of love

Baby mine, how can I know what I will be
When the only thing I know
Is you will shine just like the sun high on sea
I forget, I forget the fairy tale
Where the mother doesn't lose it all
Don't set sail, baby mine

It's the moonlit pebbles that led all those kids back home
It's the heart in a box, blood on the snow
In those webs of need, who is friend and who is foe?
You can lose yourself in this tangled maze of love
In this maze of love

Baby mine, how can I know what you will be
When I know that someday soon
I will pine, while you make a life then take your leave
And I forget, I forget the fairy tale
Where the mother doesn't lose it all
Don't set sail, don't set sail

Who am I, when you're not around, not a part of me?
Don't set sail, baby mine
