March 11, 1962 Lyrics by Mary Gauthier

The Foundling

2010

Hello this is Mary
Oh yeah, march 11, 1962
It took me 500 dollars and 40 years to find you
I know it's almost Christmas, I don't mean to make you cry
Now you ask me why I called
I don't know why
Hello, hello, say something
Don't leave me hanging here like this
If there's something right to say right now
I don't know what it is
This is the hardest thing I've ever done and I'm terrified
Now you ask me why I'm calling
I don't know why
You said I'm a secret and nobody knows and
You can't talk about it and you really got to go
You wish you'd done it different then
But you did not know how
And it's too late to change any of it now
I must have thought about this moment
About a hundred thousand times
But I never could get past hello or imagine what I'd find
I guess somewhere deep inside of me I knew I was a lie
Don't ask me why I'm calling
I don't know why
You said that you love me but I'm a secret you can't tell
And the hole you hide is wider than the waiting gate to hell
You wish you'd done it different then but you did not know how
And it's too late to change any of it now
Look I know we're strangers but
We might just hurt the same
I'm not looking for 'I'm sorry'
I'm not looking to lay blame
I guess I had to thank you once
Before this life went by
Yeah that's why I called
'Goodbye'
