about

This is a song I wrote for my mother who died in December 2013.

lyrics

My mother has hands that lie like the stones in the bottom of the river.
My dog has grown silver and old
as he waits by the door for me to come home.

it tears me apart to know he'll die, just like the rest of us.

last spring I wept, with my knees to my chest
alone in my childhood
kingdom come
come from the back
come from the back
come from the back
of my mind where i found you

come from the dark
come from the dark
come from the dark
of my mind where i left you

it tears me apart to love you
just like the rest of 'em.

now, i wait
now, i wait
to dream a daughter's mother,
now i glance familiar hands,
for i am the stone in the river.
