Heather Nova Mothertongue Lyrics

Mothertongue Lyrics

I got my daddy’s eyes

But you gave me your double vision,

I got my
daddy’s stride

Now I’m walking blind with double vision.



and I can almost see your face now, in me.

And I can almost feel the
weight you carried.



You had to break the skin

To put the
blood between us,

You did the dirty work

To put the blood between
us.



And I can almost see your face now, in me.

And I can
almost feel the weight you carried.



Oooh rocking the seed in me

Oooh learning to speak the mothertongue.



 sometimes between the
lines

I crashed, I could’ve killed you

I tried to go too fast

And I crashed, I could’ve killed you.



 and I can almost see
your face now, in me

And I can almost feel the weight you carried.



 oooh rocking the seed in me

Oooh learning to speak the
mothertongue.



But I can almost see your face now, in me

And
I can almost feel the weight you carried



The mothertongue, the
mothertongue.
