Paroles de Mother

Oh lord, won't you leave me
Leave me on my knees?
Cause i belong to the ground now
And it belongs to thee
And oh lord, won't you leave me
Leave me just like this?
Cause i belong to the ground now
I want no more than this

How i long for the autumn
The sun keeps burning deep
Every stone in this city keeps reminding me
Can you protect me from what i want?
The love i let in, it left me so lost

Mother, make me
Make me a big tall tree
So i can shed my leaves and let it blow through me
Mother, make me
Make me a big grey cloud
So i can rain on you things i can't say out loud

All these couples are kissing
And i can't stand the heat

I lost my shoes and left the party
I wander in the street

I put my feet into the fountain
The statues' all asleep
No use wishing on the water
It grants you no relief

Mother, make me
Make me a bird of prey
So i can rise above this, let it fall away
Mother, make me
Make me a song so sweet
Heaven trembles, fallen at our feet

(x2)
Oh lord, won't you leave me
Leave me on my knees?
Cause i belong to the ground now
And it belongs to thee
And oh lord, won't you leave me
Leave me just like this?
Cause i belong to the ground now
I want no more than this
