Turn down the light Wait next to me Whisper a prayer Before you walk in to the night Momma don't cry When I sing you a song Momma don't weep For our freedom won't be long Mothers of the night With your big brown eyes tonight Mothers of the night See you dancing in the light Turn out my light And fall in to me Say all your prayers That God will save us from our plight Please forgive our desperate ways But I'll die in this shame So my children live tonight Mothers of the night With your big brown eyes tonight
Mothers of the night See you dancing in the light Mothers of the night With your crimson kiss so bright Mothers of the night Your Father would be proud of you tonight Wash me whiter than the snow I am guilty for my sin Wash me whiter than the snow I am guilty, I threw the stone Wash me whiter than the snow I am guilty for my sin Wash me whiter than the snow I am guilty 'cos I threw the stone Wash me whiter than the snow I am guilty Guilty On my knees Gonna wash your feet On my knees Gonna wash your feet
