Sweet mother kept me forever Alone and safe in a room Why would I ask for anything other Your world is all that I ever knew Her hands pulling me closer Her eyes all heavy and cold
Oh-oh She said I keep you from danger Oh-oh
I'm your careful protector All of these voices are making me nervous Follow them outside Leaving with nothing Under the surface I am a stranger What else to become? No one else to become The last time you tell me it's simple I keep it in the back of my mind
Oh-oh She said: Now don't be a stranger Oh-oh
Just keep your head on your shoulders All of these voices are making me nervous Follow them outside Leaving with nothing Under the surface I am a stranger What else to become? No one else to become
