| Lyrics: | I followed you everywhere You could be found You would just stand and stare A knowing and a loving frown I would be wary Of making you angry Yes I’ll just take it steady And maybe you’ll hold me Mother. You are my flesh and blood and I want to hold you. As everyday goes by I am realising The little things you did Weren’t just good timing I want to ask you how you had the patience for it all This distance is too far I need the strength that you are Each time you cried for me If I could replace Diamonds and jewels they are not enough For your tender heart and your mothers touch (Mother) Flesh and Blood. Brick and Bone. Fill my heart. Feed my soul. |
