I sang, roll away the stone
Set up a trembling in my bones
I sat there all alone
Just cried and criedI saw the moonlight's mirrored glow
On that old dirty city's snow
I sat there feeling low
Oh my, oh myI found some fortune, found some fame
I found they cauterized my veins
Hey, I've been fucked up, and I've been a fool
But like the shepherd to the lamb
Like the wave unto the sand
I'll fix myself up, to come and be with youSee I was slow to understand
This river's bigger than I am
It's running faster than I can
Tho, Lord, I triedBetween the shadow and the storm
A little pup was being born
A little whelp without his horns
Oh my, oh myHey mama, meet me 'neath the moon
I will be humming out that tune
I've been fucked up, and I've been a fool
But like the shepherd to the lamb
Like the wave onto the sand
I'll fix myself up, to come and be with youLike the shepherd to the lamb
Like the wave onto the land
I'll fix myself up, to come and be with you
Aw now, mama, here I stand
Mama, reaching for your hand
I fix myself up, come and be with you
Fix myself up, come and be with you
Fix myself up, come be with you
