Mother
[Chorus]Oh Lord, won't you leave meLeave me on my knees?Cause I belong to the ground nowAnd it belongs to theeAnd oh Lord, won't you leave meLeave me just like this?Cause I belong to the ground nowI want no more than this
[Verse 1]How I long for the autumnThe sun keeps burning deepEvery stone in this city keeps reminding meCan you protect me from what I want?The love I let in, it left me so lost
Mother, make meMake me a big tall treeSo I can shed my leaves and let it blow through meMother, make meMake me a big grey cloudSo I can rain on you things I can't say out loud
[Verse 2]All these couples are kissingAnd I can't stand the heatI lost my shoes and left the partyI wander in the street
I put my feet into the fountainThe statues' all asleepNo use wishing on the waterIt grants you no relief
Mother, make meMake me a bird of preySo I can rise above this, let it fall awayMother, make meMake me a song so sweetHeaven trembles, fallen at our feet
[Chorus] (x2)
