Holy Mother

By eric clapton and stephen bishop



Holy mother, where are you?

Tonight i feel broken in two.

I've seen the stars fall from the sky.

Holy mother, can't keep from crying.



Oh i need your help this time,

Get me through this lonely night.

Tell me please which way to turn

To find myself again.



Holy mother, hear my prayer,

Somehow i know you're still there.

Send me please some peace of mind;

Take away this pain.



I can't wait, i can't wait, i can't wait any longer.

I can't wait, i can't wait, i can't wait for you.



Holy mother, hear my cry,

I've cursed your name a thousand times.

I've felt the anger running through my soul;

All i need is a hand to hold.



Oh i feel the end has come,

No longer my legs will run.

You know i would rather be

In your arms tonight.



When my hands no longer play,

My voice is still, i fade away.

Holy mother, then i'll be

Lying in, safe within your arms.
