Mothers Arms Lyrics

Well, you're lonely as a smoker in the rain outside a bar
Useless as a woodsman whos' seen the last tree fall
Start again on Monday when you find another job

And you're steady as a drinker who drank up every drop
Quiet in a corner, convinced he used to have it all
I don't have any money but I can say I've loved and lost

If night has got the time how often is it blind to you?
If you should decline, I won't mind
Now I'm spending all my time waiting for the sun to rise
If I'm wasting time these days
Seeking out shelter from the rain
How did I fall from my Mothers Arms
Are you doing all these things just to cause me harm?

You're solemn as a church-mouse who gave a dying breath Praying for a saviour and for better days ahead
You're trapped by tales your mama gave you
And thats no way to end

If night has got the time how often is it blind to you?
If you should decline, I won't mind
Now I'm spending all my time waiting for the sun to rise
If I'm wasting time these days
Seeking out shelter from the rain
How did I fall from my Mothers Arms
Are you doing all these things just to cause me harm?

You're tender as a lover who gave up everything
Guilty as a songbird, made to cry and not to sing
You savoured every moment with the wind beneath your wings
