New-born babe
Don't know nothing 'bout the ways of the world
Or astronauts upon the moon, or witches on brooms
New-born babe
Don't know nothing 'bout the politics of people
Or chess pieces, or old churches
You just know your mother

New-born babe
Don't know nothing 'bout the way it's gonna be
Or clown faces or masterpieces
Or love affairs or rocking chairs
I see you sleeping away, getting older every day

New-born babe
Don't know nothing 'bout the way it's gonna be
Or clown faces or masterpieces
Or love affairs or rocking chairs
I see you sleeping away
Oh, you're getting older every day
