Mother Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lew]
Welcome one and all
I'm glad to see you've come
For all the time you're here
I feel less lonely

Sometimes I wonder, though—
The way you treat me so—
I will not stand to be
Taken for granted

[BRIDGE: Lew]
I miss the days
You'd hug my legs
But now you've grown
You've turned away

[Chorus: Lew and Addie—Harmony]
I play this song
You've heard so long
You just can't hear it
The tune rolls on
But something's wrong
I think you fear it

All the things I say and do
Never seem so real to you
Oh, all the things I say and do
Never seem so real to you
[Verse 2: Lew]
By noon, the shadows heal;
September summer's real
The fallen berries stain
The long gray sidewalk
And all my memories
Seem to be rowing
Into an endless tide
Forever growing

[BRIDGE: Lew]
I miss the days
You'd hug my legs
But now you're grown It's hard to say

[Chorus: Lew and Addie—Harmony]
I play that song
You've heard so long
You just can't hear it
The tune rolls on
But something's wrong
I think you fear it

And all the things I say and do
Never seem so real to you
Oh, all the things I say and do
Never seem so real to you
[CODA: Lew and Addie—Harmony]
Oh, I don't-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, be away

Oh, I don't-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, be away

Oh, I don't-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, be away

Oh, I don't-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, be away

Oh, I don't-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, be away

Oh, I don't-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, be away

Oh, I don't-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, be away

Oh, I don't-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, be away

Oh, I don't-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, be away
Oh, I don't-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, be away
