JOHN ANDREW ARTS

Lyrics

During a bleak midwinter’s evening
while staring in her eyes
I kind of felt a shadow present
behind me

I knew it was my mind
showing me the signs
of what was near to come
and warn me

Now as the dreamer that I am
and my dream’s being all I have
I hoped the shadow was just there
to befriend me

But by looking in her eyes
I got the hint it was just time
to lose the first love
of my life


Oh mother
Oh mother
there’s never a good time
to let go

Oh mother
Oh mother
it was time I know
to rest your soul


Oh mother
Oh mother
there’s never a good time
to let go

Oh mother
Oh mother
it was time I know
to rest your soul


Thank you mother
for all the love.
