Viewing Lyrics for Mother of God:
| | | Artist: | Patty Griffin |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Mother of God | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 31 | | | | Lyrics: | All you kids get out the back door
I've never seen her this mad before
She took all her
favorite things down from the window
and broke 'em all over her clean floor
It's
Saturday at the mansion
The oldest boy walks with a slouch
The young ones are wild in back
of the house
and she gave up and went back to sleep on the couch
Something as simple as
boys and girls
gets tossed all around and lost in the world
Something as hard as a prayer on
your back
can wait a long time for an answer
When I was little I'd stare at her
picture
and talk to the mother of God
I swear sometimes I'd see her lips move
like she
was trying to say something to me
When I was eighteen I moved to Florida,
like everyone
sick of the cold does,
and I waited on old people waiting to die
I waited on them until I
was
Something as simple as boys and girls
gets tossed all around and then lost in the
world
Something as hard as a prayer on your back
can wait a long time for an
answer
So I'm wearing my footsteps into this floor
One day I won't live here
anymore
Someone will wonder who lived here before
and went on their way
I live too
many miles from the ocean
and I'm getting older and odd
I get up every morning with my cup
of coffee
and I talk to the mother of God
Something as simple as boys and
girls
gets tossed all around and then lost in the world
Something as hard as a prayer on
your back
can wait a long time for an answer...
can wait a long time for an answer | | | |
