Mother, sister comfort me
Feel so wet and cold
And downtown's lights look like a fire
As I'm headed out in the snow
You know I've gone to live one thousand lives
And to die one thousand deaths
But lately baby, got me scared
Ain't got too much left
I watch the tide flying
Like a sparrow
I watch the lights dying
Off like dominoes
Uh-hoh
And the church bells were ringing
And the church bells they cried
And the church bells sang inside my heart
The night before she died
And Jesus came to me
He put a song into my ears
He said let it fall right out your mouth
For the whole wide world to hear
And so I opened wide and out came a tide
And I let them know what to follow
And I cried Mother, Sister won't you comfort me
Downtown's locked up for the night
And I don't have a key
Mother, sister comfort me
Feel so wet and cold
And downtown's lights look like a fire
As I'm headed out towards the show
You know I've gone to live one thousand lives
And to die one thousand deaths
But lately baby, got me scared
Ain't got too much left
But the ones that I had spent with you
Were the best that I ever had
One two three four
One two three four Mother, sister comfort me Feel so wet and cold And downtown's lights look like a fire As I'm headed out in the snow You know I've gone to live one thousand lives And to die one thousand deaths But lately baby, got me scared Ain't got too much left I watch the tide flying Like a sparrow I watch the lights dying Off like dominoes Uh-hoh And the church bells were ringing And the church bells they cried And the church bells sang inside my heart The night before she died And Jesus came to me He put a song into my ears He said let it fall right out your mouth For the whole wide world to hear And so I opened wide and out came a tide And I let them know what to follow And I cried Mother, Sister won't you comfort me Downtown's locked up for the night And I don't have a key Mother, sister comfort me Feel so wet and cold And downtown's lights look like a fire As I'm headed out towards the show You know I've gone to live one thousand lives And to die one thousand deaths But lately baby, got me scared Ain't got too much left But the ones that I had spent with you Were the best that I ever had One two three four Explain Request ×
