The Temperance Movement – Mother's Eyes lyrics

Hey there sweet angel
You got your mother's eyes
When I see her on a Sunday
It's like you're there by my side
She's got the original innocence
From your little girl smile
And it fills me up with dreaming
About all the good times

Yes I wanted to run away from your light
Never knowing babe if I could ever face the music
And I don't know if it's wrong or if it's right
Gonna love you gonna take my chances

Now you're making your waves
All the souls that you'll save
Girl I ain't surprised
And I'll stay out the way
Of the changes you make
But you'll always have your mother's eyes

I heard a raven high in a tree
She was screaming her lungs out
She was calling to me
With the sun on the hillside
And the frost on the ground
I could swear this was heaven
I could swear I was found

Yes I wanted to run away from your light
Never knowing babe if I could ever face the music
And I don't know if it's wrong or if it's right
Gonna love you gonna take my chances

Now you're making your waves
All the souls that you'll save
Girl I ain't surprised
And I'll stay out the way
Of the changes you make
But you'll always have your mother's eyes
Yeah you'll always have your mother's eyes

I've been living the life of a poet
Watching for omens and signs
In the midnight hour
In the desert flower
When all I want
Is to hold you in my arms one more time
Just one more time baby
Gimme one more time

I don't know where this road's gonna take me
I just know that you were sent here to shake me
From my dead end world
From this dead man's suit that I've been wearing
That little girl smile is out of my reach
Maybe I'm learning learning how to be teached
Oh and I wanna know more

Now you're making your waves
All the souls that you'll save
Girl I ain't surprised
And I'll stay out the way
Of the changes you make
But you'll always have your mother's eyes
Yeah you'll always have your mother's eyes
You'll always have your mother's eyes
