Mother Dear

[01:07.10] Lonely feelings in the city

[01:12.68] One room flat with crumbling walls

[01:18.96] Sirens play a distant melody

[01:24.80] Neon shadows paint the halls

[01:28.52] - - -

[01:30.38] In the thirteen months I've spent here

[01:36.49] With my manuscript and rhymes

[01:42.07] I've paid in cash for foolish pleasures

[01:47.64] Mother dear you'd call them crimes

[01:52.43] - - -

[01:59.60] Raise the roof

[02:01.19] Light the lite

[02:02.25] Mother dear I'm returning tonight

[02:07.30] Your concern

[02:08.90] Mother dear how you taught me to learn

[02:11.55] - - -

[03:42.82] I'm coming home to your embrace

[03:47.60] - - -

[03:48.67] If by chance I pass before you
