My Mother The War (Live)
10,000 Maniacs

She borders the pavement

Flanks avenues

Parades pass white glove attended by

My mother the war


She'll raise a shaft

Lift a banner

Toss a rose

My mother the war


She's made every effort

To salvage the few

Bought fourteen liberty bonds

My mother the war


Mother the war


She knows every neighbor

Chats at their doors

Compare econosize electric appliances

My mother the war


Share tea and a seat

By my cradle with

My mother the war


Mother the war


Caressing the globe

Touch on his isle

She wrings hands in pensive waiting

My mother the war



Haunts her doorway

Begs her postman

Is there word for

My mother the war


Moments of distant vigil

Three years each tour

hands of god enfold him prayed

My mother the war


Mother the war


In bitter defiance

She's spitting the corps

She's wet a brood short league for combat

My mother the war


Well acquainted with sorrow

Left millions in grief

My mother the war


Fold

Laced

Carrion

Blood

Soaked

Robes


Mother the war
