The Mother
Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind
You tethered to another, and you're worried all the time
You always knew the melody, but you never heard it rhyme
She's fair, and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn't look like me
She made me love the morning, she's a holiday at sea
The New York streets are as busy as they always used to be
But I am the mother of Evangeline
The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep
She broke a thousand heirlooms I was never meant to keep
She filled my life with color, cancelled plans and trashed my car
But none of that is ever who we are
Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow
I'll hold you while you're sleeping, and I wish that I could go
All my rowdy friends around, accomplishing their dreams
But I am the mother of Evangeline
And they've still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time
And they still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and the wine
Oh, but all the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time
From inside of the ages through your eyes
You are not an accident where no one thought it through
The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you
And when we chose your name, we knew that you'd fight the power too
You're nothing short of magical and beautiful to me
I'll never hit the big time without you
So, they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
You tethered to another, and you're worried all the time
You always knew the melody, but you never heard it rhyme
She's fair, and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn't look like me
She made me love the morning, she's a holiday at sea
The New York streets are as busy as they always used to be
But I am the mother of Evangeline
The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep
She broke a thousand heirlooms I was never meant to keep
She filled my life with color, cancelled plans and trashed my car
But none of that is ever who we are
Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow
I'll hold you while you're sleeping, and I wish that I could go
All my rowdy friends around, accomplishing their dreams
But I am the mother of Evangeline
And they've still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time
And they still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and the wine
Oh, but all the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time
From inside of the ages through your eyes
You are not an accident where no one thought it through
The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you
And when we chose your name, we knew that you'd fight the power too
You're nothing short of magical and beautiful to me
I'll never hit the big time without you
So, they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
