Oh my son, if we had lived,
I would never have sold you like my mother did.
We were two in a world that wasn't ready for one.
Oh if we had lived, my son.
Oh my son, if we had lived,
I would never have sold you like your father did.
We were two in a world that wasn't ready for one.
Oh if we had lived, my son.
We would have walked the streets of London in the whispering rain.
The monocles we passed would swing from their chains.
The scandal on the faces of the doctors from France.
You would have seen how your mother could dance.
Oh my son, if we had lived,
I would never have sold you like my mother did.
We were two in a world that wasn't ready for one.
Oh if we had lived, my son.
Set your jaw like a military sergeant.
Stand up taller than your father.
Ruffle the composure of American soldiers.
Knock the epaulets right off the general's shoulders.
German petticoats tremble like leaves.
Austrian doctors cough into their sleeves.
Anatomists would shrug and move their gazes away.
Priests would cross themselves once more every day.
Oh my son, if we had lived,
I would never have sold you like my mother did.
We were two in a world that wasn't ready for one. Oh if we had lived, my son.
Oh my son, if we had lived,
I would never have sold you like your father did.
We were two in a world that wasn't ready for one. Oh if we had lived, my son.
