In the valley of the shadows I'm waiting

For mother and the other ones I love

So know I'll always love you

Until we meet above



In the battle of the bottle I'm an innocent

And the breaking of glass I'm lost

In the shadow of a downtown overpass

My last I did exhaust



No no no mother should ever have to lose a son

No no no mother especially not such a handsome one



In the middle of the meadow I'm waiting

For mother and the other ones I love

There's no good why this came to pass

There's only just because



No no no mother should ever have to lose a son

No no no mother especially such a handsome one
