Mother
Billy Sherwood And Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have permission to leave
Mother may I
Be the women I need
Father say why
You get off of yo knees
Mother may I
Have something to eat
I am the moon
The sun the stars
I am the key
You can drive the car
Fuck me good
Hold my hand
You can cry or
You can leave ya mans
All hail Lucy
You can join the clan
Her life matter
Like sandra bland
And the cops shut the kid
But he won't need his badge
Mother may I
Have permission to leave
Mother may I
Be the women I need
Father say why
You get off of yo knees
Mother may I
Have something to eat
Mother may I
Mother may I
Mother may I
Mother may I
Daddy's little girl
Ain't ah girl no more
Daddy's little girl
Ain't ah girl no more
Daddy's little girl
Ain't ah girl no more

There's a spot in my heart
There is a special place in my heart
Which no colleen may own
That no woman could ever come close to filling
There's a depth in my soul
There is a part of me, deep down, that is very personal
Never sounded or known
That I have never talked about or expressed to anyone before
There's a place in my mem'ry
There is a memory in my mind
My life that you fill
That you play a significant role in my life
No other can take it
No one else can replace it
No one ever will
And no one ever will replace that memory
Sure, I love the dear silver
Of course I love the gray hairs on your head
That shines in your hair
That sparkle in the light
And the brow that's all furrowed
And I love the wrinkles on your forehead
And wrinkled with care
That show the love and care you've put into your life
I kiss the dear fingers
I lovingly kiss your hands
So toil-worn for me
That have worked so hard for me over the years
Oh, God bless you and keep you
I pray for God's blessings and protection on you
Mother Machree
My dear mother, always in my heart
Ev'ry sorrow or care
Every time I've experienced sadness or pain
In the dear days gone by
In the past when we were together
Was made bright by the light
Was made better by your love and support
Of the smile in your eye
And the joy you brought me with your smile
Like a candle that's set
Your love is like a warm light
In the window at night
That guides me and brings me comfort in the dark
Your fond love has cheered me
Your loving nature has uplifted me
And guided me right
And helped me make the right decisions in life
