My Mother's Eyes

Got my mother's eyes and my father's hair

Does anybody really care?

It's gettin' cold out hereWell, I keep walkin' with my head held high

With my head to the sky

With my mother's eyesAnd my mother's eyes are with me

In the darkness that's been paid for

I'm just a nameless stranger, don't know whyHave I seen all that I could?

Have I seen more than I should?

With my mother's eyes?Have I seen all that I could?

Have I seen more than I should?

With my mother's eyes?And my mother's eyes are with me

In the chilly winds of autumn

If I ain't here by winter, she'll know whyI've seen all that I dare

I've seen more than my share

Forgive me if I stare with my mother's eyes
