The Ways and Wounds (of My World) - Human Drama

Feel a shadow coming up behind me

It’s icy hand soon resting on my shoulder

Mother do you know what it’s like

To be every bit the stranger in all that you know

Hey mother where’s your little daughter

What do your arms surround

Do you remember the eyes that saw you for the first time

And never after

Well they’re here and looking fast behind me

From side to side in every waking moment

From oceans near and oceans far

To the very biggest cities and towns so small

These are the ways and the wounds of my world

Every day I walk another mile and

Every night I dream another dream where

I curse everything I’ve ever loved

I’ve destroyed every home that took me in

I think of all the things that I would tell you

I picture how so tight I would hold you

And how I would forgive all I missed

And cherish every second that we would spend

Still I wait but how much longer

Mother please put to sleep your little daughter

I can’t sleep I have no strenght

My blood boils fast from this fire within
