Early February - Nahko

There was one born early February

All she had to

She was far too young to even carry

So they gave her option

She knew she wasn’t even ready

So she used her head

And instead put the baby

In the bed of a woman she never met

And she let go

So many years ago, many years ago

She wonders where he roams

Wondered where he roams

I saw her fall, fall, fall

Fall on her knees

A sorrowful respect for the child she leaves

Tell me where, tell where is your God now?

On the dot, at seven-thirty

Dressed and pressed in white

Proudly represents his country’s Navy

Now it’s time to have some fun

meets a pretty lady

And created me

You spoke to girl, now looking healthy, so

If I seem to run, run from the sun

Run from the sun

This was mistaken for a

For a smoking gun

Father, it puts you in

I saw him fall, fall, fall

Fall on his knees

A sorrowful respect for the child he leaves

Tell me where, tell where is your God now?

In my van I shook with violent

Oh,

My mama’s picture as I’m dreaming

And my baby sisters who are dead

Got a lot of longing for my kin

And now I’m thinkin'

What are you, little brother?

Have you respect for your mother?

In your native tongue

Oh, your law should

In your dreams

Little brother, where have you gone?

I saw her fall, fall, fall

Fall on her knees

A sorrowful respect for the child she leaves

Tell me where, tell where is your God now?

(Where is your God now?)
