I steal a look between the blinds   I unwind    she sleeps in comfort in my arms   She is plain but she is mine   Our child is silent but awake   I run my hands through his hair   I teach him manners and how to stick up    For himself when things get bad      I tell him son never through the first punch   And If you must fight, make it clean      SHIOLA, SHIOLA, will all be forgiven?   SHIOLA, SHIOLA, Am I strong enough to start again alone?      The taste of home is filling up my mouth   Is it wrong to love a family of ghost   Her door is open the windows are all up   She says "come inside"      I live alone more or less   I summon, child and happiness   Build them up from the dirt and clay   I have to believe that all will be forgiven      SHIOLA, SHIOLA, will all be forgiven?   SHIOLA, SHIOLA, am I strong enough to start again alone?   SHIOLA, SHIOLA, my heart is overflowing   SHIOLA, SHIOLA, with love and anger coiled into one   They take and take   But never get their fill   I try and try   But fail against my will   I wait and wait for that hand to sweep me up   And take me down that road
