This Song Is For My Mother 歌詞

This song is for my mother Let her hear me cry I couldn’t bring myself to write it ‘Til this darkened day arrived A song about old promises Made so long ago Created and cremated Ashes of the words I spoke Long separated by the miles Distanced from her golden smiles Memory of a mother Shared my dreams and really cared Long separated by the miles Distanced from her golden smiles Mama… I know I wasn’t there…… For you Would have placed A magic carpet ‘Neath your weak and shaky legs Would have raised A strong west wind Let you breathe with ease again Would have bribed God’s venal angels Come and soothe your endless pain Would have vanquished All the demons And bring peace to you again Be the child I never knew In a land We won’t grow old Be the light I always loved Warmed my dark And lonely soul Be the girl Playing games In a world The sun won’t set Be the laughter Calms my heart I never will forget I won’t forget, won’t forget This song is for my mother Let her hear me cry Couldn’t bring myself to write it ‘Til this darkened day arrived Song about old promises Made so long ago Created….cremated Ashes of the words I spoke I broke my promises, oh mama Now you’ve gone away I’m broken Drowning in the pain each day I’m drowning…drowning...drowning…drowning This song is for my mother Let her hear me…….
