Oh Mama I'm so sorry I don't know how We fell apart From the cradle to the curve Cross to the sheath I knew you: mouth of hunger Hand to heart Born to leave Oh Mama I'm your wind-heeled son and driven Horizon eyes Cast down Borne upon the river Of your body I was born to shake the world For a sound I was born I was born And now shepherd Of cigarettes and gasoline Miles and fifths Changes and faders Oh Mama The Lord divides us Rain and river, River sea. My sleep is troubled Mama Will I know you? Will my child know me?
