I'm flipping through these pages My memory seems jaded A lot's been lost since my mother's dream But these sudden flashing colors Close my eyes, only seven Full of life Feel my heart it's aching over Feel my heart it's aching over And I, I remember being young Seventeen, yes you'd come to my house Won't you tell me the things that I'd done to you this time Never in my life did I feel so unsheltered In my mind I could feel you're nothing Good for nothing As you told me Yes you told me how hard I tried These broken bones, won't you say You carry me home, now now baby My mother's dream, she called it My mother's dream, she called it These broken bones, won't you say You carry me home, now now baby My mother's dream, she called it My mother's dreams Yes my age has turned in my direction Cold and lonely resurrection Lies they told me why I'm lost within your soul But I've worn all those patches in my dreams Always broken at the seams Won't you help me Won't you help me Oh no angel, yeah yeah yeah These broken bones, won't you say You carry me home, now now baby My mother's dream, she called it My mother's dreams These broken bones, won't you say You carry me home, now now baby My mother's dream, she called it My mother's dreams
