Mother of Earth

i've gone down the river of sadness
down the river of pain
the darkness underwater called my name

gave you the key to the highway
gave you the key to the motel door
i'm tired of leaving I can't come back no more

all my darkeyed friends
i'll ve calling you again
some say speak nothing
speak nothing till the end

mother of earth
they called
said stay behind the wall
their sadness
grows like weeds upon their thighs and knees

mother of earth the wind is hollerin
i drive my best but I could?
and my eyes faithfully when this whole thing comes free
