Mother

[00:25.47] Oh, Lord, won't you leave me
[00:28.45] Leave me on my knees?
[00:31.68] 'Cause I belong to the ground now
[00:34.64] And it belongs to me
[00:37.62] And, oh Lord, won't you leave me
[00:40.62] Leave me just like this?
[00:43.68] 'Cause I belong to the ground now
[00:47.17] I want no more than this
[00:49.94] How I long for the older
[00:53.06] The sun keeps burning deep
[00:56.15] Every stone in this city keeps reminding me, oh
[01:03.04] Can you protect me from what I want?
[01:07.60] The lover I let in who left me so lost
[01:14.57] Mother, make me
[01:17.61] Make me a big tall tree
[01:20.87] So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me
[01:26.93] Mother, make me
[01:29.98] Make me a big, grey cloud
[01:33.11] So I can rain on you things I can't say out loud
[01:51.44] All these couples are kissing
[01:54.62] And I can't stand the heat
[01:57.51] I lost my shoes and left the party
[02:00.46] I wandered in the street
[02:03.86] I put my feet into the fountain
[02:06.85] The statues, all asleep
[02:10.01] No use wishing on the water
[02:13.07] It grants you no relief
[02:16.32] Mother, make me
[02:19.39] Make me a bird of prey
[02:22.53] So I can rise above this, let it fall away
[02:28.42] Mother, make me
[02:31.57] Make me a song so sweet
[02:34.59] Heaven trembles, fallin' at my feet
[03:05.00] Oh Lord, won't you leave me
[03:08.31] Leave me on my knees?
[03:11.62] 'Cause I belong to the ground now
[03:14.42] And it belongs to me
[03:17.50] And, oh Lord, won't you leave me
[03:20.49] Leave me just like this?
[03:23.96] 'Cause I belong to the ground now
[03:26.86] I want no more than this
[03:29.94] Oh Lord, won't you leave me
[03:33.11] Leave me on my knees?
[03:36.17] 'Cause I belong to the ground now
[03:39.21] And it belongs to me
[03:42.42] Oh Lord, won't you leave me
[03:45.44] Leave me just like this?
[03:48.54] 'Cause I belong to the ground now
[03:51.61] I want no more than this
[03:55.35]
