Christy Moore: MOTHERLAND
(song by Natalie Merchant)
Where in hell can you go far from the things that you know
Far from this concrete sprawl that keeps crawling its way about a miles a day?
Take one last look , commit this to memory and mind.
Don't this wasteland, this terrible place.
When you leave keep your off your sleeve.
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me sleep.
Keep me , lie with me, stay beside me, don't go.
My five & dime queen what have you seen?
The lust and the avarice, the bottomless, cavernous greed, is that what you ?
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, me to sleep.
Keep me safe, lie with me, beside me, don't go, don´t you go.
It's your happiness I want most of all and for that I'd do anything at all!
If you want the best of and the most of love, if there's I can do at all.
Come on shot gun bride what makes me envy your life?
the faceless, the , the innocent, the blameless and free, what's that like to be?
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep.
Keep me safe, lie with me, stay me, don't go.
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep.
Keep me safe, with me, stay beside me, don't go.
Don't you go.
Don't you go.
