Lyrics

I know this twine I wore for you is rough just like our lives
So wrap them round you like a flower vine and I promise it'll pass
Onto green meadows on the other side
And I'll be there waiting for you this isn't goodbye
Close your eyes, don't you see
This is the best thing for you and me
Close your eyes, this is true
It's all because I love you
But wait mama, this can't be so
The world's all not bad
And we can make it mama, please let's try again
Cause I read somewhere God's always there
We need to but call
And he promised us bad times if forever
We'll rise again with more
Open your eyes, don't you see
There's so much more for you and me
Open your eyes, this is true
He loves me and you
Oh my baby, you're so naive
Listen to your mama say
No matter how much I give
It's always taken away
And I've tried and toiled to make it better
But I can't no more
Cause my body's aching, my soul's broken
I need to find my way home, please close your eyes
Don't you see
This is the only way for you and me
Close your eyes, this is true
It's all because I love you
Hey mama, do you remember
The times we laughed and played
And there was no worry about tomorrow
Everything seemed okay
And there lies beyond the shadow
Another new day
Mama please open your eyes, don't you see
There's so much more for you and me
Open your eyes, this is true
He loves me and you
Oh no no no no, this can't be so
Please my baby, we gotta go
