loudon wainwright iii - mother's last farewell kiss lyrics
i was sitting in a station one day
when i heard a splendid young lad say
i’ve no money for my fare but i’m longing to be there
and a letter from my sister tells me this
mother’s dying, please come home at once
if you want a mother’s farewell kiss
was my mother’s farewell kiss, i now remember
how i’d love to see her smiling face once more
with her hand upon my brow
i can feel her touch just now
it’s a memory of my mother’s farewell kiss
it’s a memory of my mother’s farewell kiss
as the train pulled in that day
from behind the lad a voice replied
take this money, pay your fare
it’s enough to get you there
it’s a twenty dollar bill i’ll never miss
so the lad came safely home in time
to receive his mother’s farewell kiss
was my mother’s farewell kiss, i now remember
how i’d love to see her smiling face once more
with her hand upon my brow
i can feel her touch just now
it’s a memory of my mother’s farewell kiss
it’s a memory of my mother’s farewell kiss
