Lyrics No Mother - Old 97's

No Mother

In the valley of the shadows, I?
m waiting
For mother and the other ones I love
So know I?
ll always love you
Until we meet above
In the battle of the bottle I?
m an innocent
And the breaking of glass I?
m lost
In the shadow of a downtown overpass
My last I did exhaust
No, no, no mother
Should ever have to lose a son
No, no, no never
Especially not such a handsome one
In the middle of the meadow, I?
m waiting
For mother and the other ones I love
There?
s no good why this came to pass
There?
s only just because
No, no, no mother
Should ever have to lose a son
No, no, no never
Especially not such a handsome one
In the valley of the shadows, I?
m waiting
For mother and the other ones I love
So know, I?
ll always love you
Until we meet above
No, no, no mother
Should ever have to lose a son
No, no, no never
Especially not such a handsome one
No, no, no, no mother
Should ever have to lose a son
No, no, no, no never
Especially not such a handsome one
