Oh Dear Mother

[Verse 1]
Oh dear Mother
I still hear your Sunday songs
Apron dusted
Kettle on
You were humming while the day went on
You held the thunder
In those tired
Working hands
Cut your food before your own
Said
“One day
Baby
You’ll understand”
[Chorus]
Oh dear Mother
I will love you forever
From my first small step
To my last worn letter
Every laugh
Every tear you hid so clever
Oh dear Mother
I will love you forever (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I grew colder
Thought I knew this world alone
Closed my door and raised my voice
Still you left the hallway light at home
You said
“Don’t worry”
When your eyes were red and bright
Turned your face into the sink
Let the dishes hide your quiet fight
[Chorus]
Oh dear Mother
I will love you forever
From my first small step
To my last worn letter
Every scar you took so I’d feel better
Oh dear Mother
I will love you forever (oh)
[Bridge]
If I could fold the years
Lay them softly at your feet
I’d say each sorry I forgot to speak
Hold you in the kitchen
Let this old song be our truth
I’d dance with you
I’d dance with you
[Chorus]
Oh dear Mother
I will love you forever
From my shaking hands
To my final breath hereafter
Every road I walk
You’re in my center
Oh dear Mother
I will love you forever
Oh dear Mother
I will love you forever (yeah)
