Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed |
|
Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend |
|
Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me? |
|
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body? |
|
|
|
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten |
|
Sons are like birds, flying upward over the mountain |
|
|
|
Mother I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison |
|
Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was given |
|
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to |
|
Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you |
|
|
|
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten |
|
Sons could be birds, taken broken up to the mountain |
|
|
|
Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner |
|
Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together |
|
Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry? |
|
Blood on the floor, fleas on their paws, |
|
And you cried 'til the morning |
|
|
|
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten |
|
Sons are like birds, flying always over the mountain |
