I steal a look between the blinds
I unwind 
she sleeps [bad word] in my arms
She is plain but she is mine
Our child is silent but awake [bad word] 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, 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 [bad word] 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
