Friedman Dean - Song For My Mother Lyrics

Send "Song For My Mother" ringtone to your cell

In the hollow of your arms

Snuggled up safe and warm

You used to tell me tales of unicorns and kings

But how could i comprehend

All the things you told me then

Of your maddness and your struggling

My mind would swim in fantasies

Like a piece of driftwood on the sea

I had no touchstone for reality

You were my reality

Like a dark and unlit room

Or the far side of the moon

Your insanity spoke emptiness and fear

No matter how i tried

How i questioned and i pried

I just could not penetrate that thin veneer

And i know you tried to comfort me

To soothe and reassure me

But then your strength would always fail

And in it's place a silken veil

Like a dried and wrinkled prune

A deflated toy balloon

I came home and found you strewn across the floor

And as they lay you on your bed

I heard you say "if i am dead

How come it just keeps on hurtin' more and more"

And you left me in the early spring

All they said was "mommy's resting"

And how was i to know so young

It wasn't something i had done

So please try and understand

I will love you as i can

I do not blame you you're not guilty

But still theres no way to describe

The relief i finally found

Upon learning it was you

And not me

That was crazy
