Only A Mother Lyrics by Cherry Ghost

Beneath This Burning Shoreline

2010

[Verse 1]
Pouring the tea with a limb
Broken clean in the struggle
Too fair an age
For this war that we wage
In the rubble
A tender old tyrant
To fend off the dawn as we sleep late
And end up here punchline
That falls to the floor
Like a dead weight
[Chorus]
Tides will turn
And in time I'll learn to love
What only a mother could
Only a mother could
[Verse 2]
Flat broke and no joke
Go two's on the last smoke and show me
A night laced with lies
That could cradle the cries
Of the lonely
[Chorus]
Tides will turn
And in time I'll learn to love
What only a mother could
Only a mother could
[Bridge]
Like a hound dog that's tailing its prey
Like a night that dissolves into day
I will conquer every heartbeat on the way
[Verse 3]
The tip of your tongue seemed to promise
Some fresh pearl of wisdom
Try as I might boy
You keep them hidden depths
Well hidden
[Chorus]
Tides will turn
And in time I'll learn to love
What only a mother could
Only a mother could
What only a mother could
Only a mother
Only a mother
Only a mother
Only a mother
