I woke after dark today

I think I've done something to upset the stars again

The moon won't return my calls

But I deserve it

I deserve it all

And if you told me

That it would be this hard

I never would have let my mother put me down

I'd make her hold me

And woe betide if one of my

Selfish feet touched the ground

My plants are mad at me they say

I'm an unfit mother and they should be taken away

My darlings, I'm so sorry

That's all on me

It was I who made you stay

Cause I was lonely

My mother owed me one

To feel this way

I deserve it all the same

And if you told me

That it would be this hard

I never would have let my mother put me down

I'd make her hold me

And woe betide if one of my

Selfish feet touched the ground

And if you told me

That life would go downhill

I would have made her hold me

'til her bones were tired, better her than I

And woe betide that one of my

Selfish feet touched the ground
