Human Drama - The Ways and Wounds (of my world) lyrics

Feel a shadow coming up behind me It's icy hand soon resting on my shoulder Mother do you know what it's like To be every bit the stranger in all that you know Hey mother where's your little daughter What do your arms surround Do you remember the eyes that saw you for the first time And never after Well they're here and looking fast behind me From side to side in every waking moment From oceans near and oceans far To the very biggest cities and towns so small These are the ways and the wounds of my world Every day I walk another mile and Every night I dream another dream where I curse everything I've ever loved I've destroyed every home that took me in I think of all the things that I would tell you I picture how so tight I would hold you And how I would forgive all I missed And cherish every second that we would spend Still I wait but how much longer Mother please put to sleep your little daughter I can't sleep I have no strenght My blood boils fast from this fire within
