Mother Mine (feat. Zoie Palmer) - Jann Arden

She's the sky that holds the clouds She's the lady of the house A blind believer in all I dare to be There's no safer place I've found Than the shoulder of her white night gown Oh I've got the best and the worst of her in me And I'd share her if I could So the wars would all be over 'Cause she'd raise us all as friends And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them We'd walk on grass that's greener And our cares would all be freer If the world had a mother like mine She's our father's one great love She's the one he wanted most She's the light in the window of the house I grew up in She takes the midnight call She's the bravest of us all Still she sings in the garden she lets her hair down in Oh the wars would all be over 'Cause she'd raise us all as friends And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them Tonight would be easier And our dreams would all be deeper If the world had a mother like mine Don't go away Don't go away from me Oh I understand She is a helping hand Still I have to say She's the sky that holds the clouds She's the lady of our house We all need her But no one more than me Oh the wars would all be over 'Cause she'd raise us all as friends And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them We'd walk on grass that's greener And the dishes would all be cleaner If the world had a mother like mine Oo-oo, like mine

Close your eyes, close the door You don't have to worry any more I'll be your baby tonight Shut the light, shut the shade You don't have to be afraid I'll be your baby tonight Well, the mockingbird's gonna sail away We're gonna forget it Big old moon's gonna shine like a spoon We're gonna let it, you won't regret it Kick your shoes off do not fear Bring that bottle over here I'll be your baby tonight Be my baby, be my baby Be my baby, be my baby I'll be your baby tonight Well, the mockingbird's gonna sail away We're gonna forget it Big old moon's gonna shine like a spoon We're gonna let it, you won't regret it Kick your shoes off, do not fear Bring that bottle over here I'll be your baby tonight Be my baby, be my baby Be my baby, be my baby I'll be your baby tonight I'll be your baby tonight I'll be your baby tonight

Take your coat and shoes off Come and sit beside me We could talk for hours Or we could just do nothing Four billion people surround us So many souls lose their way All that we have is each other And that's all i've ever wanted Yeah, yeah, yeah' Don't you think it's funny Tell me what the point is We could die tomorrow Might as well enjoy this Four billion people surround us So many souls lose their way All that we have is each other And that's all i've ever wanted Yeah, yeah, yeah' Give me all your disappointments I'll give you my secrets We could lay our heads down Or be forever sleepless Four billion people surround us So many souls lose their way All that we have is each other And that's all i've ever wanted Yeah, yeah, yeah'
