Matthew Rockett - Something is lost from within (feat. Bláithín Seville) Lyrics

Something is lost from within
Something small something thin
Only something that I can imagine in my mind

Where did it come from and was it a sign?
Something inside me it's hard to define

But it's all around in the air
Through my veins on my hair
In my eyes

I did it and I'd do it again
I'm Annie and killer of men
Mammy wanted a daughter
Daddy wanted a son
Nobody noticed till the damage was done

But it's all around in the air
Through my veins on my hair

Daddy was lost at the end of the war
Mammy soon after couldn't live anymore

Where did it come from was it a sign?
Something inside me it's hard to define
Fortunate fellows have fallen
From their towers of copper and tin
But out on the water it's cold on my skin

And who am I here without taking your name
Just a girl lost at sea
Full of salt full of shame
Nobody told me I was part of the game
If we're honest
You'd do the same
