This Song Is For My Mother Lyrics - Catman Cohen

This song is for my mother 

Let her hear me cry 

I couldnt 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 wasnt 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 

Gods 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 wont grow old 

Be the light 

I always loved 

Warmed my dark 

And lonely soul 

Be the girl 

Playing games 

In a world 

The sun wont set 

Be the laughter 

Calms my heart 

I never will forget 

I wont forget, wont forget 

This song is for my mother 

Let her hear me cry 

Couldnt 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 youve gone away 

Im broken 

Drowning in the pain each day 

Im drowningdrowning...drowningdrowning 

This song is for my mother 

Let her hear me
