Lyrics
Only a Mother
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Pouring the tea with a limb
Broken clean in the struggle
Too fair an age
For this war that we wage in the rubble
A tender old tyrant
To fend off the dawn as we sleep late
And end up here punchline
That falls to the floor like a dead weight
Tides will turn
And in time I'll learn to love
What only a mother could
Only a mother could
Black broken no joke
Go twos on the last smoking show me
A night laced with lies
That could cradle the cries of the lonely
Tides will turn
And in time I'll learn to love
What only a mother could
Only a mother could
Like a hound dog that's tailing its prey
Like a night that dissolves into day
I will conquer every heartbeat on the way
The tip of your tongue seemed to promise
Some fresh pearl of wisdom
Try as I might boy
You keep them hidden depths well hidden
Tides will turn
And in time I'll learn to love
What only a mother could
Only a mother could
What only a mother could
Only a mother
Only a mother
Only a mother
Only a mother
