Mother Of God (Album Version) - Patty Griffin (派蒂·格里芬)[00:00:00]
Written by:Patty Griff[00:00:04]
All you kids get out the back door[00:00:08]
I've never seen her this mad before[00:00:12]
She took all her favorite things down from the window[00:00:15]
And broke them all over her clean floor[00:00:19]
It's Saturday at the mansion[00:00:23]
The oldest boy walks with a slouch[00:00:27]
The young ones are wild in back of the house[00:00:31]
And she gave up and went back to sleep on the couch[00:00:34]
Something as simple as boys and girls[00:00:41]
Gets tossed all around and lost in the world[00:00:48]
Something as hard as a prayer on your back[00:00:56]
Can wait a long time for an answer[00:01:03]
When I was little I'd stare at her picture[00:01:26]
And talk to the mother of god[00:01:30]
I swear sometimes I'd see her lips move[00:01:34]
Like she was trying to say something to me[00:01:38]
When I was eighteen I moved to Florida[00:01:42]
Like everyone sick of the cold does[00:01:46]
And I waited on old people waiting to die[00:01:49]
Oh I waited on them until I was[00:01:53]
Something as simple as boys and girls[00:02:00]
Gets tossed all around and lost in the world[00:02:07]
Something as hard as a prayer on your back[00:02:15]
Can wait a long time for an answer[00:02:22]
So I'm wearing my footsteps into this floor[00:03:01]
One day I won't live here any more[00:03:06]
And someone will wonder who lived here before[00:03:10]
And went on their way[00:03:15]
I live too many miles from the ocean[00:03:20]
And I'm getting older and odd[00:03:25]
I get up every morning with my cup of coffee[00:03:28]
And I talk to the mother of god[00:03:32]
Something as simple as boys and girls[00:03:38]
Gets tossed all around and lost in the world[00:03:45]
Something as hard as a prayer on your back[00:03:53]
Can wait a long time for an answer[00:04:00]
Can wait a long time for an answer[00:04:09]
Maybe it's all right[00:05:30]
Maybe we won't fight any more[00:05:38]
Maybe love is waiting at the end of every road[00:05:47]
I don't know[00:06:05]
I don't know[00:06:10]
But maybe[00:06:15]
Maybe it's all right[00:06:19]
