This child, Marianne Switches on the light Strange dreams surround her In the drawn and lonely night Her dad lives by himself So he cannot hold her tight Her mother's always drinking And some man has spent the night And so Marianne Clutches at her doll Wishing for the comfort Which she cannot have at all And then she's frightened By footsteps in the hall Her passive baby takes her tears As her face turns toward the wall This child, Marianne Is caught in a vicious game Two players made the rules And they gave to her a name And the love that they denied her To them was all the same And before she learns she doesn't know She starts to play the game And when she's older Marianne will not be changed By gentle men of feeling Who have words that they can say By strength or understanding Or a love that wants to stay At night she'll hold her baby And her face will turn away This child, Marianne Will die as she was born Giving out what she received With unremitting scorn And when perhaps a child or two From Marianne is torn Do not blame the children But the worlds to which they're born Do not blame the children But the worlds to which they're born
