Nobody's Child Songtext
von Traveling Wilburys

As I was slowly passing
An orphans′ home one day
And stopped for just a moment
To watch the children play
Alone a boy was standing
And when I asked him why
He turned with eyes that could not see
And he began to cry

I'm nobody′s child
I'm nobody's child
Just like the flowers
I′m growing wild
No mummy′s kisses
And no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I′m nobody's child


People come for children
And take them for their own
But they all seem to pass me by
And I am left alone
I know they′d like to take me
But when they see I'm blind
They always take some other child
And I am left behind

I′m nobody's child
I'm nobody′s child
Just like a flower
I′m growing wild
No mummy's kisses
And no daddy′s smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody′s child

No mommy's arms to hold me
Or soothe...
