Mama You Sweet

I love you Mama you sweet

I love you Mama you sweet

I love you Mama you sweet

I love you Mama you sweet

I love you Mama you sweet

With an ocean in my spirit

And cracks on my lips

And scars in my heart

And this burden on my hips

Ocean becomes heavy and tries

To push its way out

Through these ancient eyes

And the memories in my mouth

Ocean becomes tears

That ebb and flow

Over the lines in my face

And the pain in my soul

And pain hits a wall

And doesn't know which way to go

And ocean says I'm crying now

And tells pain to follow

And pain courses through

Every vein, every limb

Trying to find a way out

Between the secrets in my skin

And secrets hold on

Until they finally give in

And they meet up with ocean

And tears again

And tears hand me a shovel

Saying break beneath the crust

That binds earthly skin

And buries all the trust

Somehow trust was caught

Between the cracks on my lips

And the scars in my heart

And this burden on my hips

I love you Mama you sweet...
