"Mum"
(Sade Adu)

these eyes, they are the witnesses
they need no other reasons to cry
and now that they are a river
they will never run dry
they cut you down
now night is endless
and i wait for morning to come
lying there helpless
you saw me lose you mum
and you were the strongest tree
falling
watching me
the cold eyes of hatred showing you no mercy
so in this darkness the place i dwell
in it is the darkest well
and as my arms begin to mend
they only wish
to hold you again.
