Mama You Sweet - Lucinda Williams

I love you mama you sweet

I love you mama you sweet

I love you mama you sweet

I love you mama you sweet

With an ocean in my spirit

And cracks on my lips

There’s scars in my heart

And there’s burn on my hips

And ocean becomes heavy

And tries to push its way out

To these ancient eyes

And the memories in my mouth

Ocean becomes tears

Heaven flows

Over the lines in my face

And the pain in my soul

The pain hits a wall

Doesn’t know which way to go

An ocean says I’m crying now

It tells pain to follow

And pain courses through

Every vein, every limb

Trying to find a way out

Between the secrets in my skin

Secrets hold on

Until they finally give in

And they meet up with ocean

And tears again

And tears send me a shovel

To celebrate beneath the crust

That binds earthly skin

And buries all the trust

But somehow trust was caught

Between the cracks on my lips

And there’s scars in my heart

And there’s burn on my hips

I love you mama you sweet

I love you mama you sweet

I love you mama you sweet

I love you mama you sweet

I love you mama you sweet

I love you mama you sweet

I love you mama you sweet

I love you mama you sweet
