This song is for my mother
Let her hear me cry
I couldnt bring myself to write it
Til this darkened day arrived
A song about old promises
Made so long ago
Created and cremated
Ashes of the words I spokeLong separated by the miles
Distanced from her golden smiles
Memory of a mother
Shared my dreams and really caredLong separated by the miles
Distanced from her golden smiles
Mama
I know I wasnt there...For youWould have placed
A magic carpet
neath your weak and shaky legsWould have raised
A strong west wind
Let you breathe with ease againWould have bribed
Gods venal angels
Come and soothe your endless painWould have vanquished
All the demons
And bring peace to you againBe the child
I never knew
In a land
We wont grow oldBe the light
I always loved
Warmed my dark
And lonely soulBe the girl
Playing games
In a world
The sun wont setBe the laughter
Calms my heart
I never will forget
I wont forget, wont forgetThis song is for my mother
Let her hear me cry
Couldnt bring myself to write it
Til this darkened day arrived
Song about old promises
Made so long ago
Created.cremated
Ashes of the words I spokeI broke my promises, oh mama
Now youve gone away
Im broken
Drowning in the pain each dayIm drowningdrowning...drowningdrowningThis song is for my mother
Let her hear me
