lyrics

I've been comin' across the land / by rail and foot & car
sunbeams pulling on my hair / that strong insistent star
pulling me through endless fields / working on the farm
folding me in every shape / seldom doing harm

cradle robber / you're the one for me

men have always been with me / as firm as they could be
guiding me with open hand / over bended knee
when I was a child they were ghosts / that I could see
running through the city now / I feel them following

cradle robber / you're the one for me

gentle as you are my love / far fragiler than me
if you want to stay my love / you'll have to stronger seem
be a cruel professor / & I'll be your student fair
be a longtime family friend / entrusted with my care
take me by the throat my love / strike me in the face
be the man they told you not to be / in any case

cradle robber / you're the one for me
