In Your Mother's Eyes

Before your name was spoken out loud

Papa was building pyramids that drank from the clouds

You were just a vision that she kept to herself

She talked of you to no one else

In your mother’s eyes

You’re still a child in your mothers eyes

You know you can be good again you know there’s still time

In your mother’s eyes

Mmm-mmm-mmm

Whoo-ooh-hoo

Mmm-mmm-mmm

Now you’ve grown older you walk hollowed ground

You pardon the demons and you share your bed with doubt

Making deals with the mirrors, keeping so much inside

Some get out, but most will hide

In your mother’s eyes

You’re still a child in your mothers eyes

You know you can be good again you know there’s still time

In your mother’s eyes

Mmm-mmm-mmm

Whoo-ooh-hoo

Mmm-mmm-mmm

Day by day you are drifting away

But your heartstrings pull you back

Star by star, think you’ve travelled so far

But you’re going in circles on the track

In your mother’s eyes

You’re still a child in your mothers eyes

You know you can be good again you know there’s still time

In your mother’s eyes

You’re still a child in your mothers eyes

You know you can be good again you know there’s still time

In your mother’s eyes

Mmm-mmm-mmm

Whoo-ooh-hoo

Mmm-mmm-mmm
