The Shortest Story [Live 1975 Version[00:00:00]
I am born today the sun burns[00:00:08]
It's promise in my eyes[00:00:14]
Mama strikes me and I draw a breath and cry [00:00:19]
Above me a cloud softly[00:00:27]
Tumbles through the sky[00:00:31]
I am glad to be alive [00:00:34]
It is my seventh day [00:00:47]
I taste the hunger and I cry[00:00:51]
My brother and sister cling to Mama's side [00:00:58]
She squeezes her breast [00:01:06]
But it has nothing to provide[00:01:09]
Someone weeps I fall asleep [00:01:14]
It is twenty days today [00:01:26]
Mama does not hold me anymore[00:01:31]
I open my mouth but I am too weak to cry [00:01:38]
Above me a bird slowly crawls across the sky[00:01:46]
Why is there nothing now to do but die[00:01:53]
