Mother May I

Did you ever really think that you

Exposed the truth that paints the page?

And in their asking you to see their lie

The mode of true and earnest lie



For in the morning should they wake up

I'll see them precious in their sleep

And steps should break the same

With every move and every need



So run little children play

I'll leave the light off to turn your mother on

So run little children play

I'll leave the light off to turn your mother on



Could you ever really wish of them

One of your games in counts of two

With every moment you'll trace the doubt

And of the premise what about



Will they ever really see her mend or

Does it matter now from then

What of their love for once renounced

And of this love or loss without



So run little children play

I'll leave the light off to turn your mother on

So run little children play

I'll leave the light off to turn your mother on



I should have known

God only knows when your word isn't pure

And the blood on your hands isn't yours

I won't believe any word that you tell

And I won't drink the blood if it spills



So give them the story they want you too

Give them the story they won't

Kiss to you girl before you fall down and leave me



So give them the story they want you too

Give them the story they won't

Kiss to you girl before you fall down and leave me



So give them the story they want you too

Before you leave me

So give them the story they want you too

Before you leave me

So give them the story they want you too

Before you leave me

So give them the story they want you too

Before you leave me

So give them the story they want you too

Before you leave me



God only knows when your word isn't pure

And the blood on your hands isn't yours

I won't believe any word that you tell

And I won't drink the blood if it spills



God only knows when your word isn't pure

And the blood on your hands isn't yours

I won't believe any word that you tell

And I won't drink the blood if it spills
