Oh Mama

Oh Mama
I'm so sorry
I don't know how
We fell apart
From the cradle to the curve
Cross to the sheath
I knew you: mouth of hunger
Hand to heart
Born to leave

Oh Mama
I'm your wind-heeled son and driven
Horizon eyes
Cast down

Borne upon the river
Of your body
I was born to shake the world
For a sound

I was born
I was born

And now shepherd
Of cigarettes and gasoline
Miles and fifths
Changes and faders
Oh Mama
The Lord divides us
Rain and river,
River sea.
My sleep is troubled Mama
Will I know you?
Will my child know me?
