Текст пісні
There are seagulls in the alley
Living off bugs and trash
I feel the last of rains of summer
Shining on my broken ass
Oh, mama, I should call you
Tell you why it's been so long
Well, mama, you've seen
In a late night dream
Roll away when the sun comes on
Some women hold me like I'm wicked
Some women hold me like I'm a saint
Sometimes they can hear my heart beat
Oh and sometimes they can't
Oh, mama, I should call you
Tell you how they've been to your boy
But mama, there's too much or never enough
To dig out what's left of my joy
I just keep on racing
I hear that river basin
Waiting for his time
For me to close my eyes
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Yeah, running from your demons
Sometimes feels like swimming through air
You use the darkness to help you
But it's the darkness that put 'em there
Oh, mama, I should call you
Let you convince me to give it just the one more day
Remind me to breathe, while this life is sweet
It's just not to everybody, folks love a resurrection
I got no objection
Let every good lord rise
And I'll close my eyes
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
