A Hole in the World

She left a hole in the world and a baby by the track She left a motherless daughter to never know what they could have had Her thinking had clarity and purpose it gave her strength to see it all through Baby on a blanket mother scattered on earth and heavens to She left a hole in the world and people stranded on a train Moaning of missed meetings ignorant to the cause of their complaint Death should be a leveller but not when you've got a deal to break Baby screaming babies throwing tantrums on a train As she drew her final breath you can only wonder if it brought salvation There's a hole in the world and it's big and wide within their relations What of the baby now who really gives it a chance Just another crunched number if they ever gave it a glance Written off in infancy thrown to the wolves and the breeze There's a hole in the world and the tear affects both you and me
