Mother, don't worry, I killed the last snake
|
that lived in the creek bed.
|
Mother, don't worry,
|
She's got some money 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
|
Upwards Over the Mountain.
|
|
Mother, I gave it up from a 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 are like birds taking
|
Broken Over 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, forgive me that the creek
|
Drank the cradle you sang to.
|
Mother, remember the night the dog
|
Had her pups in the pantry.
|
Blood on the walls and
|
Fleas on their paws and
|
You cried 'til morning.
|
|
So may the sunrise bring hope
|
Where it once was forgotten.
|
Sons are like birds flying
|
Always Over the Mountain.
