have you nothing to learn
daughter build your fire well
you've money to burn
don't think too much about hate and pain
below your castle keep
that lies about you like a moat
while deep inside you sleep
don't think too much of bloodshed
or the horrors of a war
don't think too much of those that die
you've heard it all before
but never mind but never mind
for all things are the same
sunshine and the rain are quite unknown
your bird has flown and it's somewhere in the sky
you let him pass you by when you were blind
nursery days and splendour with nanny at your hand
care at your command
a sheltered world of tea and toys
careful not to make a noise when
father was around
Daughter oh my daughter
have you nothing to learn
daughter build your fire well
you've money to burn
don't look behind your shoulder now
there's knocking on your gate
the friends and foes of boredom
have little time to wait
don't think too much of darkness
or the shadows you deplore
don't think too much of those that die
you've heard it all before
