Lyrics
You lay in bed dreaming
I sit outside in the darkness of my mind
A cigar on the table and a guitar in my hand
I try to find the words to sum up the division in our hearts
And as it turns it's this world that's been tearing us apart
Mother of my child
I want to stay with you a while
Mother of my child
You know I'd travel 10,000 miles just to you smile
Mother of My Child
Picture shows and social screens
Talking heads and shiny things
Keep us from the love we once shared
And even know we try to kill the pain
It drives us even more insane
But we pick up the pieces baby and we try again
Mother of my child
I want to stay with you a while
Mother of my child
You know I'd travel 10,000 miles just to you smile
Mother of My Child
