Brandi carlile

The mother

Brandi carlile
Welcome to the end
Of being alone inside your mind
You're tethered to another
And you're worried all the time
You always knew the melody
But you never heard it rhyme
She's fair and she is quiet, Lord
She doesn't look like me
She made me love the morning
She's a holiday at sea
The New York streets are busy
As they always used to be
But I am the mother of Evangeline

The first things that she took from me
Were selfishness and sleep
She broke a thousand heirlooms
I was never meant to keep
She filled my life with color
Canceled plans and trashed my car
But none of that was ever who we are
Outside of my windows
Are the mountains and the snow
I will hold you while you're sleeping
And I wish that I could go
All my roadie friends are out
Accomplishing their dreams
But I am the mother of Evangeline

And they've still got their morning paper
And their coffee and their time
And they still enjoy their evenings
With the skeptics and the wine
Oh, but all the wonders I have seen
I will see a second time
From inside of the ages
Through your eyes

You are not an accident
Where no one thought it through
The world has shit against us
Made us mean to fight for you
And when we chose your name
We knew that you'd fight the power, too
You're nothing short of magical
And beautiful to me
Oh, I'll never hit the big time without you
So they can keep their treasure
And their ties to the machine
'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline

They can keep their treasure
And their ties to the machine
'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
