Samuel T. Herring - Swept Inside lyrics

[Verse 1] By the shattered calls of a mother's arms All swept-inside like the rosary That fell away when her girlish charms Cried out to take on motherhood She waits by the windowsill All wrapped in white and puzzling What happened to the child inside? Who ran the streets and the days at night... [Chorus] She says, "Nothing seems the same." And, "I can't change a thing." "My body's like a wave, breaking to the sea." She says, "Everything seems strange." Locked behind the years But life is ours to find, in the days at night [Verse 2] There pa**es a stranger every eve Who walks himself on a silver-leash And in his head, the worlds asleep Or, so the wrinkles in his hands believe When he was young, he had a dream To be a star, on the movie-screen Now it all seems a silly lie As he walks alone And, the days on fire [Chorus] He says, "Nothing seems the same." And, "I can't feel a thing." "My bodies like a wave, caving in on me" He says, "Everything seems strange." Holding back the tears And he smiles just like a child In the days at night [Refrain] Mother of song You'll find the right way To cherish in dreams All of the small things Father in time You'll find a world That's so perfect and calm All of the small things [Refrain] Mother of song You'll find the right way To cherish in dreams All of the small things Father in time You'll find a world That's so perfect and calm All of the small things [Refrain] Mother of song You'll find the right way To cherish in dreams All of the small things Father in time You'll find a world That's so perfect and calm All of the small things [Refrain] Mother of song You'll find the right way To cherish in dreams All of the small things Father in time You'll find a world That's so perfect and calm All of the small things
