Lyrics:

I tell myself the mountain shines
The clocks they turn back the dead
You're outside, I'm inside all alone
The faces obscured by though in doubt Mother,
don't cry, don't cry Mother, don't cry, don't cry

Smoke rings, sits on the porch
They won't let me out Mother,
don't cry, don't cry Woke in the night,
sleeps in the daytime

The months go by seven at nine
You're outside, I'm inside all alone
The faces obscured by though in doubt Mother,
don't cry, don't cry Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Smoke rings, sits on the porch
They won't let me out Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Untie your tongue when I'm caught
While the party still goes on
You'll be there and I'll be gone
Don't you wait for me too long
Don't you wait for me too long Mother,
don't cry, don't cryMother, don't cry,
don't crySmoke rings, sits on the porch
They won't let me outMother, don't cry, don't cry
