Meanwhile My Mother - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]
Written by:Peter Hammill[00:00:01]
Mean while my mother[00:00:28]
Waiting for what[00:00:34]
I don't know[00:00:37]
The recall of a favourite memory[00:00:41]
Or perhaps for a painful one to go[00:00:45]
She doesn't let that much show[00:00:51]
Mean while above her head[00:01:00]
All my monologues flows[00:01:07]
What's that you're saying dear[00:01:12]
Wading through time like it's treacle[00:01:15]
Her eyes looking into mine although[00:01:17]
She won't even notice me go[00:01:23]
In the mean time I pack her things up[00:01:31]
And get them ready to store[00:01:35]
In between times I take a good look around[00:01:40]
For we'll not be visiting here much more[00:01:45]
Mean while my mother[00:02:14]
Distance encamped in her eyes[00:02:20]
Not quite oblivious but[00:02:27]
Close to a state of inertia[00:02:29]
In which she won't even realise[00:02:32]
How everything's passing her by[00:02:38]
Mean while my mother[00:02:53]
Lost in a world of her own[00:02:59]
Turns to look out of the window[00:03:07]
Down to the verdant earth below[00:03:10]
Some journeys we make alone[00:03:16]
Somehow we'll leave all we've known[00:03:32]
Mean while my mother[00:04:02]
Waiting for what[00:04:10]
Time to go[00:04:14]
