Your Mother & I feat. Bill Frisell

歌詞

I knew your mother, let me be clear We were lovers before you got here So don't forget that I knew her when Love was the means, and you were the end I still remember somebody who Was amazing and crazy and somewhat like you I fell for your mother, love made me a fool We were into each other 'til it came off the spool "Folks choose their parents," some Budists say So maybe you picked us and we were your way In the Bliblical sense I knew your mom And it wasn't all sturm und it wasn't all drang (There was some calm) Having a father is the most dangerous game And when dad takes a powder it's more than a shame But I knew your mother and your mother knew me And as long as it lasted was how long it could be Today is your birthday and if truth be told Well it has to be said now, we're both a bit older Yeah, happy birthday, but I want to be clear I loved your mother and that's why you're here I knew your mother, let me be clear We two were lovers before you got here So don't forget that I knew her when Love was the means and you were the end Yeah, love was the means and you were the end I knew your mother
