i loved my mother

tim mcfate

you know there was a time i loved my mother
you know there was a time i admired my dad
something went wrong
slowly that was all gone
oh there was a time i don’t remember
there are so many graves that i’ve never seen
oh and then something went wrong
tore out the heart
it didn’t take that long
baby you don’t understand
what happens to a family when they loose their man
just like ships at sea
baby thats what happened to me
i remember the time i started to wander
you tell me in a dream
I’m a little lost boy
how do i explain i don’t hurt any longer
somewhere along the way i discovered
the world of joy
nothings gone wrong
as far as i can see
so come back to bed
put your arms around me
sometimes when i cry
it helps to remind me
a long time ago you meant everything to me
baby do you understand
what happens to a family when they loose their man
we are just like ships at sea
baby thats what happened to me
i say to myself
when did i serender
i say to myself what do i regret
there was a time i loved my mother
there was a time
