Mother |
| 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 autumn |
| 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 |
