Will the children cry
when their mother dies
And in the autumn of their lives
will they feel the same
Uoy ees I
natas teews ym
Thginot kcab emoc
draytruoc eht no tuo
Her longing for me
coming down like hail
Why did you leave me
Come here inside
and tell me how
How in my final days
I'd find the rhyme
The light comes on
The signal for us
to act out our lives
You wait beneath
the white sheets
and you wait forever
The light comes on
your weakness storing
trace on your arms
so I left you alone
We all left you alone
Yhw nosaer ruoy
regnol on re'yeht
Lock the children
away from harm
They're no longer
your reason why
Seeking tenderness
with a dagger
Skin is marked by
the years of trials
You felt abandoned
in a flock of friends
Singing praise for the dead
Awaited the face
of the moon to ascend
and followed the sound
in your head
In your head
