Divine Comedy Mother Dear Lyrics

Mother Dear Lyrics

It was not that long ago it first occurred to me

That my mother was a person in her own right

And now I realize how very lucky I have been

And there, but for the grace of God, go I, go I



Mother dear, she can see inside

Mother dear, and I've nowhere to hide

Mother dear, did I spoil your plans?

Mother dear, I do the best I can



When I was a teenager, I really did believe

That my parents had adopted me

And the way I carried on they must have thought

They'd brought the wrong little baby home from maternity

Well, I'd like to say I'm sorry but my



Mother dear, she already knows

Mother dear, she'll never let me go

Mother dear, kept me warm and safe

Mother dear, I'll never lose my faith in mother dear



If I ever get arrested by the C.I.A.

Because they take me for a foreign spy

They won't need no lie-detector, all they'll have to do

Is make me look into my mother's eyes

And I'll tell them anything they like



Mother dear, she can see inside

Mother dear, and I've nowhere to hide

Mother dear, kept me warm and safe

Mother dear, I'll never lose my faith in mother dear



Mother dear, mother dear

My mother dear



Mother dear, did I spoil your plans?

Mother dear, I do the best I can
