Mother (Don't Cry)
I tell myself that nothing's changed
The clocks they turn back the dead
You're outside, I'm inside all alone
The faces obscured by the window
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Smoke rings, cigs on the porch
They won't let me out
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Workin' the nightshift and the daytime
The months go by seven, eight, nine
You're outside, I'm inside all alone
The faces obscured by the window
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Smoke rings, cigs on the porch
They won't let me out
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Untie your tongue when I'm caught
While the party still goes on
You'll be there and I'll be gone
Don't you wait for me too long
Don't you wait for me too long
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Smoke rings, cigs on the porch
They won't let me out
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Smoke rings, cigs on the porch
They won't let me out
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
