lyrics

Mother Sings Her
Mother sings her French lullabies
Prolong each song, nighttime goodbyes
Under cover, warm as July
Chalet blows down time after time.
Verses slow down my blinking eyes
Chalet blows down time after time
Reason or rhyme, we can’t devise
Things were perfect back in July.

Mother starts the song again
about the cottage that burned down
Pretty soon I leave my shell
for a sleeping stomping ground

On a hill he built a house
now it’s airing out, and when it starts
Oh the cottage of his dreams!
The winds are wild, a wintry fight
the crumbling walls go out of sight!
they’re filling up with light trying as he might
the winds are wild
fire turning white, a wintry fight.

Mother sings her French lullabies
Prolong each song, nighttime goodbyes
Under cover, warm as July
Chalet blows down time after time.
