my mother
mother, feeble in the dark,
who prays your gay away
when insomnia sifts away hope
mother, angel of the dark,
waiting to wash her hands,
whisper you goodnight
mother, fear in the dark,
wringing dreadful fingers
in the yellowed light
who prays your gay away
when insomnia sifts away hope
mother, angel of the dark,
waiting to wash her hands,
whisper you goodnight
mother, fear in the dark,
wringing dreadful fingers
in the yellowed light
