Florence And The Machine lyrics : "Mother"

[Refrain:]
Oh Lord, won't you leave me
Leave me on my knees?

Cause I belong to the ground now
And it belongs to thee
And oh Lord, won't you leave me

Leave me just like this?
Cause I belong to the ground now
I want no more than this


How I long for the autumn
The sun keeps burning deep

Every stone in this city keeps reminding me
Can you protect me from what I want?
The love I let in, it left me so lost


Mother, make me
Make me a big tall tree

So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me
Mother, make me
Make me a big grey cloud

So I can rain on you things I can't say out loud

All these couples are kissing

And I can't stand the heat
I lost my shoes and left the party
I wander in the street


I put my feet into the fountain
The statues' all asleep

No use wishing on the water
It grants you no relief


Mother, make me
Make me a bird of prey
So I can rise above this, let it fall away

Mother, make me
Make me a song so sweet
Heaven trembles, fallen at our feet


[Refrain x2]
