Marie Fredriksson - Mother lyrics

Where will I be

The day I need you for my own

Who will I be

When I can't reach you on the phone

Will I still be the same

Will I still feel this pain

Will you still be mother

When you're dead & gone

All alone - on my own

Finally me

Without the mountains or the sea

Lord, what is to be

Why do my past just have to leave

I always loved your soul

I know I've been much too cold

We've had times of trouble

That were never told

When is it too late to say

That I loved you anyway

Will I still be proud

When you're dead & gone

All alone - on my own

Oh mother can't you see

That this fight is all about me

Why can't you understand

That I'm a child

And a grown up woman

Mother can't you see

That this fight is all about me

You think that I'm wild

But I'm a woman and still a child

Disappointed and proud

I wish I dared to scream out loud

We've been the same

God give me words so I can explain

Don't say I never tried

Don't ever say I lied

Will I still be something

When you're dead & gone

Please try to ease my pain

So I can feel again

Say you always loved me

Before you're dead & gone

All alone - on my own

But finally you won't be no other

Than my mother
