Holy Mother (1986-07-15: NEC Arena, Birmingham, UK) Songtext
von Eric Clapton

Holy Mother, where are you?
Tonight, I feel broken in two
I′ve seen the stars fall from the sky
Holy Mother, can't keep from crying

Oh, I need your help this time
Get me through this lonely night
Tell me, please, which way to turn
To find myself again

Holy Mother, hear my prayer
Somehow I know you′re still there
Send me, please, some peace of mind
Take away this pain


I can't wait (I can't wait)
I can′t wait (I can′t wait)
I can't wait any longer (can′t wait any longer)
I can't wait
I can′t wait (I can't wait)
I can′t wait for you

Holy Mother, hear my cry
I've cursed your name a thousand times
I've felt the anger running through my soul
All I need is a hand to hold

Oh, I feel the end has come
No longer my legs will run
You know I would rather be
In your arms tonight

When my hands no longer play
My voice is still, I fade away
Holy Mother, then I′ll be
Lying in, safe within your arms
