about

The song is lifted off the new Painted Romans album with expected release Spring 2023.

lyrics

I once held a penny in my frail hand
And squeezed it so hard it dissolved into sand
Then an old woman wise with foresight
She said
Sing to your child
Life roams in the wild

So I ran to find meaning I ran to get lost
There was blood on the saddle and painstaking cost
And the old woman wise with living
She said
Sing to your child
Life roams in the wild

So I begged as noone watched and watched the beggar plead
And frowned in the gutter with alms and a fee
And the old woman wise with giving
She said
Sing to your child
Life roams in the wild

And I turned a blind eye and was blinded by strength
And weakness fell prey to a well-defined stench
And the old woman wise with God-spell
She said
Sing to your child
Life roams in the wild

Now I hear the old heartbeat from times of old lore
Strike harder and meaner than I heard before
And the old woman wise with anger
She says
Sing to your child
Life roams in the wild

There's a madman in the attic who whistles when he speaks
And a portrait of sins going pale with each shriek
And an old woman wild with laughter
She says
Sing to your child
Life roams in the wild

Life caught in the wild
Life stillborn in the wild
Life sinks in the wild
