歌曲名 As My Mother Lay Lying

歌手名 Jonathan Richman

As my mother lay lying

In the nursing home bed

I paid strict attention to

The things she said

As my mother lay lying I learned

Old dreams that bothered me

Since I was little

I looked at her and in a flash

I solved the riddle

As my mother lay lying I leanrned

As my mother lie dying I learned

Some more

Now she's sleeping

In the sun

Breaking free of earthly chains

One by one

As my mother lay lying I leanrned

Now just bones

And silver hair

My restless twisting mother

Sleeping there

As my mother lay lying I learned

As my mother lie dying I learned

Some more

Now comes the time for

One final cry

Now comes the time to

Say goodbye

As my mother lay lying I learned

As my mother lie dying I learned

Some more
