o'hooley & tidow - two mothers lyrics
[verse 1]
as i lay you gently down to sleep
i hear my mother’s voice lilting to me
unexpected child was i upon a young girl
through her tears she sang me farewell
[chorus]
come sing a song for the mothers
who held you in their arms, when you were a child
who sacrificed their dreams for ours, taught us to fly
soothing our fears with her lullaby
[verse 2]
wrapped up in mother’s crochet shawl
i crossed a faraway sea to a world turned around
new hands, a bottle, kind eyes and a strange lullaby
my new mother answered my cries
[chorus]
come sing a song for the mothers
who held you in their arms, when you were a child
who sacrificed their dreams for ours, taught us to fly
soothing our fears with sweet lullaby
[verse 3]
time like the tide she ebbs and flows
and in my arms i cradle a child of my own
her eyes the forest green, whilst mine the cornflower blue
perhaps they’re a keepsake from you?
[chorus]
come sing a song for the mothers
who held you in their arms, when you were a child
who sacrificed their dreams for ours, taught us to fly
soothing our fears with her lullaby
soothing our fears with sweet lullaby
