Detours

Mother can you hold me together
It's so dark and I'm losing my way
I took all of these detours to find love
when I did it just faded away

Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine
Do I give it away, and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars
Mother teach me to love
With a paper thin heart

Mother your words are so Swealing
You speak of love, and of life, and of peace
But I've made it my course to avoid you
Just to hide from these feelings of grief

Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine
Do I give it away, and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars
Mother teach me to love
With a paper thin heart

What do I do with this sweet love of mine
Do I give it away, and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars
Mother teach me to love
With a paper thin heart

Mother, I know you were with me
You were there when I took my first breath
I can't stop looking back for the answers
I just keep coming up with regret
'Cause there are some things I just can't forget
