Thread Name: Tom Paxton's lyrics - dies a-bornin'
Subject: RE: Tom Paxton's lyrics
"As I lie in my bed in the mornin',
Without you, without you.
Every song in my breast dies a bornin',
Without you, without you."

In the context of the song the meaning is clear. Was it a word? Probably not. Is it now? You bet.
