My Mama's House - Janis Ian[00:00:00]

Written by：Janis Ian[00:00:01]

In my mama's house the men were many[00:00:03]

They stood in a line outside the door[00:00:10]

When I was a kid they gave me candy[00:00:16]

And seashells from the ocean[00:00:21]

They'd stolen from the shore[00:00:24]

They came like princes to the wedding[00:00:30]

They left like sailors on the hill[00:00:37]

When I was younger I was ready[00:00:44]

To receive them in the luxury[00:00:48]

Of my driftwood heart and still[00:00:52]

I never wanted for affection[00:00:58]

I never needed any more[00:01:05]

All my fathers my reflection[00:01:12]

Like the moon reflects the shore[00:01:19]

Love came in a wave it struck like an ocean[00:01:25]

Like a tide it pulled me out to sea[00:01:32]

My mama's house is gone[00:01:39]

But her devotion lingers on[00:01:41]

In the back pages of my memory[00:01:45]

Now I live my life in splendor[00:01:53]

Like some duchess or a queen[00:02:00]

But every morning I remember[00:02:07]

When the sea breeze strikes and gathers[00:02:11]

What that woman meant to me[00:02:15]

And I never wanted for affection[00:02:21]

I never needed any more[00:02:28]

All my fathers my reflection[00:02:35]

Like the moon reflects the shore[00:02:42]

Love came in a wave it struck like an ocean[00:02:48]

Like a tide it pulled me out to sea[00:02:55]

My mama's house is gone[00:03:02]

But her devotion lingers on[00:03:05]

In the back pages of my memory[00:03:08]
