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
|
