Does your mother know |
|
You had to go someday |
|
Does your mother know |
|
That you would go so fast |
|
Anyway, that's all you think about |
|
You'd call her if you could |
|
But the letters that you write |
|
In the faded winter light |
|
Just tell her they tell her |
|
That you've got ten dollars and you'll be all right |
|
And when you get straight you're gonna come back east some day |
|
Does your mother know |
|
You have a man in the west |
|
Does your mother know |
|
You drove him from your door |
|
Anyway that's all you think about |
|
You'd call her if you could |
|
Does your mother know |
|
You walked all day in the rain |
|
Does your mother know |
|
How deep your love could be |
|
Anyway that's all you think about |
|
You'd call her if you could |
|
But the letters that you write |
|
In the faded winter light |
|
Just tell her they tell her |
|
That you've got ten dollars and your rent costs eight |
|
And when you get straight you're gonna come back east some day |
|
But the letters that you write in the faded winter light |
|
Just tell her they tell her |
