Sons & Mothers

Don't have the strength tonight.
 I got sick one too many times.
 I'll wear a mask and I'll smile
 Until you see my bloodshot eyes.
 Said if hope is where the heart is then rest your head on me
 You cleaned me up, you carried me.
 So how can I repay this generosity?
 You said, "Crawl your way out of the sea"
 Here I am with my head in the gutter
 And all I am is the son of my mother
 And I say, "What's left to lose?"
 Here I am with my head in the gutter
 And all I am is the son of my mother
 And I say, "What's left to lose... except for you?"
 Who wants it all?
 That's just me singing in the rain.
 My words are tapping on your windowpane.
 I hope that they don't wake you up.
 These days you're dreaming for the both of us.
 Home is where the heart is.
 Rest your head on me.
 You cleaned me up, you carried me.
 How can I repay this generosity.
 Said, "Crawl your way out of the sea."
 Here I am with my head in the gutter
 And all I am is the son of my mother
 And I say, "What's left to lose?"
 Here I am with my head in the gutter
 And all I am is the son of my mother
 And I say, "What's left to lose... except for you?"
