Mother's Eyes - The Temperance Movement

Hey there sweet angel

You got your mother’s eyes

When I see her on a Sunday

It’s like you’re there by my side

She’s got the original innocence

From your little girl smile

And it fills me up with dreaming

About all the good times

Yes I wanted to run away from your light

Never knowing babe if I could ever face the music

And I don’t know if it’s wrong or if it’s right

Gonna love you gonna take my chances

Now you’re making your waves

All the souls that you’ll save

Girl I ain’t surprised

And I’ll stay out the way

Of the changes you make

But you’ll always have your mother’s eyes

I heard a raven high in a tree

She was screaming her lungs out

She was calling to me

With the sun on the hillside

And the frost on the ground

I could swear this was heaven

I could swear I was found

Yes I wanted to run away from your light

Never knowing babe if I could ever face the music

And I don’t know if it’s wrong or if it’s right

Gonna love you gonna take my chances

Now you’re making your waves

All the souls that you’ll save

Girl I ain’t surprised

And I’ll stay out the way

Of the changes you make

But you’ll always have your mother’s eyes

Yeah you’ll always have your mother’s eyes

I’ve been living the life of a poet

Watching for omens and signs

In the midnight hour

In the desert flower

When all I want

Is to hold you in my arms one more time

Just one more time baby

Gimme one more time

I don’t know where this road’s gonna take me

I just know that you were sent here to shake me

From my dead end world

From this dead man’s suit that I’ve been wearing

That little girl smile is out of my reach

Maybe I’m learning learning how to be teached

Oh and I wanna know more

Now you’re making your waves

All the souls that you’ll save

Girl I ain’t surprised

And I’ll stay out the way

Of the changes you make

But you’ll always have your mother’s eyes

Yeah you’ll always have your mother’s eyes

You’ll always have your mother’s eyes
