Sinead Oconnor

middle of the island

everybody knew, nobody said
a week ago last tuesday
she was just fifteen years
when she reached her full therm
she went to a grotto
in just a field
in the middle of the island
to deliver herself
her baby died
she died
a week ago last tuesday
it was a sad slow stupid death for them both
everybody knew, nobody said
at a grotto
in a field
in the middle of the island

it was a sad slow stupid death for them both
everybody knew, nobody said
