neive strang - what my mother gave to me lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
ooohhh
ooohhh

settle down you say
i’m getting old
can’t be of age
without someone to hold

he’s holding her down
she wants to sell up and go
get a one bedroom flat
just to be on her own

she’s a lady of god she says
give what he gives to you
and when there’s nothing left
she’ll give away your sh-t too

she may not earn a living
but she’s never low on work
she runs her own little garden
with its own little quirks

[chorus]
to own nothing, but to have it all
to sound so big, but to look so small
to carry love in your pocket for free
that’s what my mother gave to me

[verse 2]
ooohhh
ooohhh

she had three
and for three she didn’t know
how much love it would take
to watch her nest grow

all in it by herself
a need to be alone
one had a dog’s devotion
some never leave their home

[chorus]
to laugh in the middle of a low
to always feel present no matter where you go
to carry love in your pocket for free
that’s what my mother gave to me

[verse 3]
ooohhh
ooohhh

taken back
when the feelings overload
can only take so much
before your walls both implode

with a life like hers
it’s important to be bold
but the weight of the herd
pushed the house to be sold

[chorus]
to see hope while living in mid-air
to never take it personal, no matter what you hear
to carry love in your pocket for free
that’s what my mother gave to me

[outro]
ooohhh
ooohhh
