First Cry
Knightstown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What have you learned
What have you tried
To settle down to a new life?
My darling
Where love's concerned
Who have you spurned?
My darling
What have you learned
What have you tried
To settle down to a new life?
Where love's concerned
Who drew the knife
And who uttered the first cry?
Even around me your so shy
But who uttered the first cry?
Go settle down to a new life
My darling...
