| Mother Sister, comfort me
|
| Feel so wet and cold
|
| And downtown’s lights look like a fire
|
| As I’m headed out in the snow
|
| You know I’ve gone to live one thousand lives
|
| And to die one thousand deaths
|
| But lately baby, got me scared
|
| Ain’t got too much left
|
| I watch the tide flying
|
| Like a sparrow
|
| I watch the lights dying
|
| Off like dominoes
|
| Uh-hoh
|
| And the church bells were ringing
|
| And the church bells they cried
|
| And the church bells sang inside my heart
|
| The night before she died
|
| And Jesus came to me
|
| He put a song into my ears
|
| He said let it fall right out your mouth
|
| For the whole wide world to hear
|
| And so I opened wide and out came a tide
|
| And I let them know what to follow
|
| And I cried Mother Sister, won’t you comfort me
|
| Downtown’s locked up for the night
|
| And I don’t have a key
|
| Mother Sister, comfort me
|
| Feel so wet and cold
|
| And downtown’s lights look like a fire
|
| As I’m headed out towards the show
|
| You know I’ve gone to live one thousand lives
|
| And to die one thousand deaths
|
| But lately baby, got me scared
|
| Ain’t got too much left
|
| But the ones that I had spent with you
|
| Were the best that I ever had
|
| One two three four |
