Detours

Mother can you hold me together It's so dark and I'm losin' my way I took all of these detours to find love And when I did it just faded away Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine? Do I give it away and hope someday I'll find Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars? Mother, teach me to love with a paper thin heart Ma ma ma Ma ma ma Ma ma ma Mother your words are so healing You speak of love and of life and of peace But I made it my course to avoid you Just to hide from these feelings of grief Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine? Do I give it away and hope someday I'll find Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars? Mother, teach me to love with a paper thin heart Now what I do with this sweet love of mine? Do I give it away and hope someday I'll find Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars? Mother, teach me to love with a paper thin heart Ma ma ma Ma ma ma Ma ma ma Ma ma ma Ma ma ma Ma ma ma Ma ma ma Ma ma ma Mother, I know you are with me You were there when I took my first breath I can't stop looking back for the answers I just keep coming up with regret There are some things I just can't forget
