Mother Country

from The Mask by Bill White

/

lyrics

She was somebody
I had known in childhood
Recently I heard a rumor
she had died
When the affair was over
We kept on talking
And swore we’d never leave
Each others side

We walk through the park
Never touching
We would like to spend the night
In a strange bed
When at last we kissed
We both felt nothing
But we did not take back
The words we said

We find a house
Deep inside the forest
Three men celebrate
Their date of birth
We shake hands all around
And each man tells us
We are brave, that he
could never leave
His mother country.
She is my mother
I cant break free
From North to South
From sea to sea
Ali I evee knew
In ashes aroud me
Still I will ever leave
My mother country


They sent us out
Without a mask for cover
They sent is out
For candles and a cake
We looked far
Into the bakers window
It was clear
We had arrived too late

I dont know what I’d do without these rivers
That run between these trees
like frightened mice
I know that I could never love another
At any price
As I love you
And I dont know what Id do
Without my mother country

he is my mother
I cant break free
From North to South
From sea to sea
Ali I evee knew
In ashes aroud me
Still I will ever leave
My mother country

Three men
Joined in celebration
Each one
Took and shook
My hand
Two of them
Were total strangers
The third had greeted me
As his best friend.
