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.
Mother, oh, mother
Is it time to wake up yet?
I know I'm not ready
Mother, oh, mother
Is it time to let go now?
I know I'm not ready
Something in the woods
Is coming close enough to hear
If I close my eyes, will I disappear?
Let's just stay asleep
'Cause when I sleep, I still can see you
Let's just stay asleep
Mother, oh mother
Do I have to come in now?
Is the day almost over?
Mother, oh mother
Do I have to move on now?
Is this almost over?
Someone said the sky is falling
Tell me, is it true?
Everything's alright when I'm with you
Let's just stay asleep
'Cause when I sleep, I still can hear you
Let's just stay asleep
Just close my eyes
You said, you said
Just close my eyes
Just close my eyes
You said, you said
Just close my eyes
Let's just stay asleep
'Cause when I sleep
I still can feel you
Let's just stay asleep
Let's stay asleep
