The Ways and Wounds (Of My World) Songtext
von Human Drama

I feel a shadow coming up behind me
It′s icy hand soon resting on my shoulder
Mother do you know what it's like
To be every bit the stranger in all that you know

Hey mother where′s your little daughter
What do your arms surround
Can you remember the eyes that saw you for the first time
And never after

Well they're here and looking fast behind me
From side to side in every waking moment
From oceans near and oceans far
To the very biggest cities and towns so small

These are the ways and the wounds of my world
These are the ways and the wounds of my world
These are the ways and the wounds
Of my world


Every day I walk another mile and
Every night I dream another dream where
I curse everything I've ever loved
I′ve destroyed every home that took me in

I think of all the things that I would tell you
I picture how so tight I would hold you
And how I would forgive all I missed
And cherish every little second that we would spend

Still I wait but how much longer
Oh mother please put to sleep your little daughter
I can′t stand I have no strength
My blood boils fast from this fire within

These are the ways and the wounds of my world
These are the ways and the wounds of my world
These are the ways and the wounds
Of my world

I feel a shadow coming up behind me
It's icy hand soon resting on my shoulder
Mother do you know what it′s like
To be every bit the stranger in all that you know


Hey mother where's your little daughter
What do your arms surround
Can you remember the eyes that saw you for the first time
And never after

Still I wait but how much longer
Oh mother please put to sleep your little daughter
I can′t stand I have no strength
My blood boils fast from this fire within

These are the ways and the wounds of my world
These are the ways and the wounds of my world
These are the ways and the wounds of my world
These are the ways and the wounds
Of my world

Mother please put to sleep your little daughter
Mother please put to sleep your little daughter
Mother please put to sleep your little daughter
Mother please put to sleep your little daughter
Mother please put to sleep your little daughter
Mother please put to sleep your little daughter
