Infant Sorrow lyrics
by Greg Brown
(Music by Greg Brown / poem of William Blake)
My mother groaned, my father wept:
Into the dangerous world I leapt
Helpless, naked, piping loud
Like a fiend hid in a cloud
Struggling in my father's hands
Striving against my swaddling bands
Bound and weary, I thought best
To sulk upon my mother's breast
