I never knew, I had a father
Until I lost the sun
I didn't understand what he did
Or what has done

He took it much too far
He took it all in stride
I'll never reach the top of the mountain
Until I find out why

Mother blues
Mother blues

Came from a place there's no mistake
Where livin's not much fun
He knew his chances for romancing
He knew it all along

He took it much too far
He took it all in stride
I'll never reach the top of the mountain
Till I find out why

Mother blues
Mother blues

I'm gonna meet you there
I'm gonna find you
I know I'll see you soon

He took it much too far
He took it all in stride
I'll never reach the top of the mountain
Till I find out why

Mother blues
