Mother

Oh lord won't you leave me

Leave me on my knees

Cause I belong to the ground now

And it belongs to thee

And oh lord won't you leave me

Leave me just like this

Cause I belong to the ground now

I want no more than this

How I long for the older

The sun keeps burning deep

Every stone in this city keeps reminding me

Can you protect me what I want

The love I let in it left me so lost

Mother make me

Make me a big tall tree

So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me

Mother make me

Make me a big grey cloud

So I can rain on you things I can't say out loud

All these couples are kissing

And I can't stand the heat

I lost my shoes and left the party

I wander in the street

I put my feet into the fountain

The statues all asleep

No use wishing on the water

It grants you no relief

Mother make me

Make me a bird of prey

I can rise above this let it fall away

Mother make me

Make me a song so sweet

Heaven trembles fallen at our feet

Oh lord won't you leave me

Leave me on my knees

Cause I belong to the ground now

And it belongs to thee

And oh lord won't you leave me

Leave me just like this

Cause I belong to the ground now

I want no more than this

Oh lord won't you leave me

Leave me on my knees

Cause I belong to the ground now

And it belongs to thee

Oh lord won't you leave me

Leave me just like this

Cause I belong to the ground now

I want no more than this
