tracy bonham: mother mother

featured on: Tracy Bonham: The Burdens of Being Upright

mother mother
can you hear me
i知 just calling to say hello
how痴 the weather
how痴 my father
am I lonely, heavens no

mother mother
are you listening
just a phone call to ease your mind
life is perfect
never better
distance making the heart grow blind

when you sent me off to see the world
where you scared that I might get hurt
would I try a little tobacco
would I keep on hiking up my skirt

i知 hungry
i知 dirty
i知 losing my mind
everything痴 fine

i知 freezing
i知 starving
i知 bleeding to death
everything痴 fine

yeah, I知 working, making money
i知 just starting to build a name
i can feel it around the corner
i could make it any day

mother mother
can you hear me
yeah I知 sober, sure I知 sane
life is perfect, never better
still your daughter, still the same

if I tell you what you want to hear
will it help you to sleep well at night
are you sure that I知 your perfect dear
now just cuddle up and sleep tight

i知 hungry
i知 dirty
i知 losing my mind
everything痴 fine

i知 freezing
i知 starving
i知 bleeding to death
everything痴 fine

i miss you
i love you
