No Mother
Old 97s · Drag It Up [2004]
In the valley of the shadows I'm waiting
For mother and the other ones I love
So know I'll always love you
Until we meet above
In the battle of the bottle I'm an innocent
And the breaking of glass I'm lost
In the shadow of a downtown overpass
My lad I did exhaust
No no no mother should ever have to lose son
No no no never especially not such a handsome one
In the middle of the meadow I'm waiting
For mother and the other ones I love
There's no good why this came to pass
There's only just because
No no no mother should ever have to lose a son
No no no never especially not such a handsome one
For mother and the other ones I love
So know I'll always love you
Until we meet above
In the battle of the bottle I'm an innocent
And the breaking of glass I'm lost
In the shadow of a downtown overpass
My lad I did exhaust
No no no mother should ever have to lose son
No no no never especially not such a handsome one
In the middle of the meadow I'm waiting
For mother and the other ones I love
There's no good why this came to pass
There's only just because
No no no mother should ever have to lose a son
No no no never especially not such a handsome one
