For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn.

(album: Stranger Comes To Town - 2010)

They ran away for true love
Saying they knew life wasn't fair
Thought they'd be together for all times
They'd always have this true love
For they made each other swear
Two kids, they never saw the signs

They settled in a new life
And the bairn grew slow inside
They showed a disregard and little time
Oh, this is when the alpha and the omega collide
No hope, no conscience, no crime

But it cannot be what it appears to be
Nothing living lies that still
For sale, baby shoes, never worn
It's a bitter pill

They thought they had a true love
It was fire-proof and immune
They never the truth, that this is all
And when the spell was shattered
When they broke from their cocoon
Two kids, they never saw the fall

But it cannot be what it appears to be
Nothing living lies that still
For sale, baby shoes, never worn
It's a bitter pill

Nobody told them
Nobody made the call
Nobody cared for them at all
Nobody warned them
Nobody saw the signs
Two kinds from broken lines

This is when the alpha and the omega collide
No hope, no conscience, no crime

But it cannot be what it appears to be
Nothing living lies that still
For sale, baby shoes, never worn
It's a bitter pill

No, it cannot be what it appears to be
Nothing living lies that still
For sale, baby shoes, never worn
It's a bitter pill
