lyrics

Mother and child, there’s a love that painful
Mother and child, there’s a debt you’re payin’ for
Her eyes drift to the floor
You wonder if you coulda said more
Mother and child, love and death and rainfall

Vulnerable love, you never make it easy
Vulnerable love, you’re threatenin’ when you please me
You bring your heart into the light
You purchase another side,
Looks like a hole so mean that makes you sink so deeply

Is it worth it? There’s no way to make it out
But if someone has to go, I hope that it ain’t slow
But I know if it’s me, I’m sorry
If it ain’t, then I forgive you for letting this love do what it’s to do

Mother and child, we all need forgiveness
Mother and child, no one should outlive this
For when the lonely do
The happy days are few
Mother and child, time and space and sickness
