Lyrics: Holy Mother
Album: August
Artist: Eric Clapton
 

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.
