Treating my cuts with her own remedies

Combing my hair while she covered my knees

And sent me books I was forbidden to read

Educating me …

I’m trying (you cry every night until dawn)

To stay awake (don’t make me regret you were born)

I’m falling in (your faces are covered in red)

I’m having public display (and your mother don’t have the last word).

Crashing (I’m coming from the rain)

To the thunder (and don’t let me hear you complain)

Scattering myself (tell me nothing’s real)

Over the floor (you can feel my pain).

Little memories of our past

Remind me of how I used to make her mad

I’m crying, I’m crying.

I’m strong enough, I’m tough enough

Full enough, I’m crying my mother’s tears

She shed enough, she’s pled enough

Well enough, I’m crying my mother’s tears.

I’m strong enough, I’m tough enough

I’m brave enough to face my mother’s fears.

Grace Jones – I’m Crying Mother´s Tears

I wake up some mornings

Thank God not as often as I used to

Slow and heavy from dreams with you

You’ve found a way back in

Once again my long lost friend

Funny to see that after all these years

I miss you the same

So I drag myself to the corner café

And for a second I see you there

Like in the good old days

And I wonder what you’re doing ?

What are you up to these days ?

I sometimes wish you would call me

But then I wouldn’t know what to say

And I see you, in every cab that goes by,

in the strangers at every cross road,

in every bar

It takes a glass or two

For it to settle down

For your shadows to stop following me around

I find myself walking back

To all the places we knew

Dreaming and wishing

to somehow run into you

And of course I wonder

Does it happen to you ?

Does my ghost ever come looking for you ?

And I see you
