lyrics

You know we can float,
we have a ways to go
we’ll get there slow
we’ll get there slow

You know that we can hope
the summer grass will grope
your heart stings that grow
around you’re mother’s home

Won’t you be forgiving dear?
it’s all the shaky fears
that tug at your ears
can you hear them leave you alone?
oh, it’ll leave you alone

Your mother called you in last night
and your face turned cold and white
oh what did you do
to get that tone?

Your mind’s been through so much
it’s cold to the touch
won’t you let it thaw
dear, let it thaw

and plant things there,
and grow out your hair
laying in the flower beds
around your mother’s home

Won’t you be forgiving dear?
it’s all the shaky fears
that tug at your ears
can you hear them leave you alone?
oh, it’ll leave you alone

Your mother called you in last night
and your face turned cold and white
oh what did you do
to get that tone?

Think you're better off alone

Maybe I’m asking far too much
of the both of us
well there's not a whole lot to be done

And maidens will weep for you
and your cheap curfew
well at least you have your mother's home

Won’t you be forgiving dear?
it’s all the shaky fears
that tug at your ears
can you hear them leave you alone?
oh, it’ll leave you alone

Your mother called you in last night
and your face turned cold and white
what did you do
to get that tone?
'Least you have your mother's home.
