Текст песни
Let her hear me cry
I couldn't bring myself to write it
'Til this darkened day arrived
A song about old promises
Made so long ago
Created and cremated
Ashes of the words I spoke
Long separated by the miles
Distanced from her golden smiles
Memory of a mother
Shared my dreams and really cared
Long separated by the miles
Distanced from her golden smiles
Mama,
I know I wasn't there...
For you
Would have placed
A magic carpet
'neath your weak and shaky legs
Would have raised
A strong west wind
Let you breathe with ease again
Would have bribed
God's venal angels
Come and soothe your endless pain
Would have vanquished
All the demons
And bring peace to you again
Be the child
I never knew
In a land
We won't grow old
Be the light
I always loved
Warmed my dark
And lonely soul
Be the girl
Playing games
In a world
The sun won't set
Be the laughter
Calms my heart
I never will forget
I won't forget, won't forget
Let her hear me cry
Couldn't bring myself to write it
'Til this darkened day arrived
Song about old promises
Made so long ago
Created,.cremated
Ashes of the words I spoke
I broke my promises, oh mama
Now you've gone away
I'm broken
Drowning in the pain each day
I'm drowning, drowning... drowning, drowning
Let her hear me,
