lyrics

lyrics:
Some time late in the nineties
You would’ve found her
Out back on a lounger
Tying the flowers
For our little faces
To sell them onto strangers

And one way or another
You still tie the flowers
For our little faces
Oh mother
I guess that never changes

Counting our dollars
Into the wee hours
Twelve wooden boxes burned
Down to a penny
With so many memories

So I dwell upon weathers.
However the seasons
That tied them together
Oh mother
their stages and reason
They escape me forever.

If I’m forever scared, I’ll be forever mute
Like a fish on land
Who never told a soul
Fed into an ever growing bowl of windfall

It’s always just a moment
Then another
It’s always just a moment
Then another

We tripped on a man
Dare I say a kid
Both of them david
Grew into that island pit
As we turn the pages then
As I drew my first wages
The same way you’ve always done
You took him on
Made him one of our own

And one way or another
You still tie the flowers
For our little faces
Oh mother
I guess that never changes

It’s always just a moment
Then another
