Mother Lyrics - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful - Florence And The Machine

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 older 

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 

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 

Oh lord, won't you leave me 

Leave me on my knees 

Cause I belong to the ground now 

And it belongs to thee 

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
