I can't help it, I feel some remorse
And I know
Stop thinking, stop thinking
I'm always hoping that it's you at the door And I know
Keep dreaming, keep dreaming
I guess for you I am a little man
You shared some secrets while you held my hand Then you said quietly
I have a plan to live forever and young
Will you come along
There's only one of you, you see
You are the flowers, the grass,
The birds and the bees
Now I'm sitting here up in one of your trees Drowning in a bottle of therapy
Mother
You're slipping away Mother
You're fading away
You're losing all your colors from the ocean to the forest Some of us are sleeping
Ai-ai-boff
Mother
You're slipping away Mother
You're fading away
The other ones are singing bout money and champagne No one seems to share your name
Mother, oh, mother
We are without another Brother, oh, brother
How can we save our mother?
