Roger Street Friedman - Mother cnd Son

she was married in 1943
dark eyes smiling behind a veil of lace
that soldier boy whispered in her ear
then Uncle Sam sent him on his merry way
but not before I came to be
our story just begun
mother and son
mother and son
mother and son

in early memory I tumble in an ocean wave
pink flesh slams against the sandy floor
fear fills up my eyes and my chest
as the tide does its level best to pull me back for more
I'm thinking it's the end of me
when to the rescue here she runs
Mother and Son
Mother and Son
Mother and Son


crmchair talks in the northeastern haze
cs I was hitting my stride as I was finding my way
by the picture window in her sitting room
I drank in tea and wisdom as the evening shadows grew
My life before me like an endless sea
and hers halfway done
mother and son
Mother and son
mother and son

time's like sand on an eroding ocean shore
first there is a ton and then there is no more
and she grew very old skin from pale turned grey
and I grew older wrangling rapid-fire days
there were words we dare not say
though we both knew the time would come
Mother and Son
Mother and Son
Mother and Son

his eyes are the same color as mine
oh how they sparkle with that little boy shine
he runs circles round the house laughing all the way
then runs right into your arms bright as the summer day
I know what he feels when his eyes lock with yours
cs if you're the only one...
Mother and Son
Mother and Son
Mother and Son
Repeat
