Mother of Earth Lyrics

I've gone down the river of sadness
I've gone down the river of pain
In the dark, under the wires
I hear them call my nameI gave you the key to the highway
And the key to my motel door
And I'm tired of leaving and leaving
I can't come back no moreOh, my dark eyed friend
I'm recalling you again
Soft voices that speak nothing
Speak nothing to the endOh, Mother of Earth
Blind they call
But yet, stay behind the wall
Their sadness grows like weeds
Upon my thighs and kneesOh, Mother of Earth
The wind is hot
I tried my best but I could not
And my eyes fade from me
In this open country
