Dear mother the struggle is over now
And your house is up for sale
We
divided your railway watches
Between the four of us
I fought over the pearls
With the
other girls
But it was all a metaphor
For what was wrong with us
As the room is emptying
out
Your face so young comes into view
And on the back porch is a well-worn step
And a
pool of light you can walk into
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part of
our life together is over
But I will wait for you, forever
Like a river...
Can you
clear up the mystery of the Sphinx?
Do you know any more about God?
Are you dancing with
Benjamin Franklin
On the face of the moon?
Have you reconciled with Dad?
Does the rain
still make you sad?
Last night I swear I could feel you
Moving through my room
And I
thought you touched my feet
I so wanted it to be true
In my theater there is a stage
And
a footlight you can step into...
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part
of our life together is over
But I will wait for you, forever
Like a river...
In
the river I know I will find the key
And your voice will rise like the spray
In the moment
of knowing
The tide will wash away my doubt
'Cause you're already home
Making it nice
for when I come home
Like the way I find my bed turned down
Coming in from a late night
out.
Please keep reminding me
Of what in my soul I know is true
Come in my boat,
there's a seat beside me
And two or three stars we can gaze into...
I'll wait no more
for you like a daughter,
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you
forever
Like a river...
