Lyrics
Oh speechless child, who wants to touch you Oh speechless child, no love in store To dumb to scream, to dumb to answer Can only listen and lock the door Can't stand the sound of raging voices Can't stand the sound of warring tongues Shut in a place where none can reach you A better place than this cruel one Oh child, oh child, speechless child Your mother blames you for her trouble Your father needs to pick a fight And you're the smallest and the nearest Close the door and close it tight See all the joys of family living You're better off by far today Your private life, your private leisure Oh life is sweeter, so they say Oh child, oh child, speechless child Oh speechless child, you'll never reason Oh speechless child, the day will come You'll haunt a man whose days are measured Some day your eyes will strike him dumb Oh child, oh child, speechless child Oh child, oh child, speechless child
