Mother

[00:25.21] Oh, Lord, won't you leave me
[00:28.46] Leave me on my knees?
[00:31.56] 'Cause I belong to the ground now
[00:34.45] And it belongs to me
[00:37.51] And, oh Lord, won't you leave me
[00:40.58] Leave me just like this?
[00:43.82] 'Cause I belong to the ground now
[00:46.99] I want no more than this
[00:50.03] How I long for the older
[00:52.82] The sun keeps burning deep
[00:55.97] Every stone in this city keeps reminding me, oh
[01:02.99] Can you protect me from what I want?
[01:07.51] The lover I let in who left me so lost
[01:14.11] Mother, make me
[01:17.22] Make me a big tall tree
[01:20.42] So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me
[01:26.60] Mother, make me
[01:29.79] Make me a big, grey cloud
[01:32.96] So I can rain on you things I can't say out loud
[01:51.56] All these couples are kissing
[01:54.44] And I can't stand the heat
[01:57.41] I lost my shoes and left the party
[02:00.77] I wandered in the street
[02:03.91] I put my feet into the fountain
[02:06.72] The statues, all asleep
[02:09.74] No use wishing on the water
[02:12.74] It grants you no relief
[02:15.92] Mother, make me
[02:18.85] Make me a bird of prey
[02:22.19] So I can rise above this, let it fall away
[02:28.03] Mother, make me
[02:31.16] Make me a song so sweet
[02:34.45] Heaven trembles, fallin' at my feet
[03:04.99] Oh Lord, won't you leave me
[03:08.22] Leave me on my knees?
[03:11.36] 'Cause I belong to the ground now
[03:14.47] And it belongs to me
[03:17.45] And, oh Lord, won't you leave me
[03:20.66] Leave me just like this?
[03:23.70] 'Cause I belong to the ground now
[03:26.57] I want no more than this
[03:29.93] Oh Lord, won't you leave me
[03:32.80] Leave me on my knees?
[03:35.77] 'Cause I belong to the ground now
[03:38.85] And it belongs to me
[03:42.22] Oh Lord, won't you leave me
[03:45.40] Leave me just like this?
[03:48.55] 'Cause I belong to the ground now
[03:51.21] I want no more than this
[05:46.87]
