Mother

Always with me but never found

I searched for you in basements

But you never came around

Heard some news you left this town

If a town is what we call earth

Mother you sure did fly

Even billionaires can’t match your worth

Nor can anyone take away the hurt

Close yet oh so far

Echoes of you strummin’ your guitar

Hair of night

Eyes of mystery

You’ll always be mother to me

As I grew, you did not

No new stories to be written

You stayed frozen in your spot

Nothing to add to the plot

It’s hard to embrace you

When you are made of paper

I guess I know what I must do

Mother, I must forgive you

Close yet oh so far

Echoes of you strummin’ your guitar

Hair of night

Eyes of mystery

You’ll always be mother to me

You’re so beautiful

So lovely in every way

Nothing more suitable

Than to miss you every day

And I do

Close yet oh so far

Echoes of you strummin’ your guitar

Hair of night

Eyes of mystery

You’ll always be mother to me
