Black Cotton

Dressed in black cotton The kettle's on the stove All the lights and humble wisdom You forever told Children at your feet As we looked up to a mighty soul I could still smell your leather boots Telling tales of roses red and white While the tea was getting cold We all feel the rain In winter we get cold We're all forever ageing Some of us don't grow old We all live to learn Learn to love the ones we loose With colours not designed to fade Reminding me of you Coloured head to toe With younger spirits than your own I was hiding in the office There comes a time you learn to feel alone Mother I see you wave your wand Singing carols from the kitchen I remember thinking One day I will sing along But now you're gone We all feel the rain In winter we get cold We're all forever ageing But some of us don't grow old We all live to learn Learn to love the ones we loose With colours not designed to fade Reminding me of you There's only one release The release is the reward There's only one reward The reward is the release There's only one release The release is the return Of something so magnificent We all feel the rain In winter we get cold We're all forever ageing But some of us don't grow old We all live to learn Learn to love the ones we loose With colours not designed to fade Reminding me of you
