Holy Mother Lyrics

by Eric Clapton and Stephen Bishop

Holy Mother, where are you?

Tonight I feel broken in two.

I've seen the stars fall from the sky.

Holy mother, can't keep from crying.

Oh I need your help this time,

Get me through this lonely night.

Tell me please which way to turn

To find myself again.

Holy mother, hear my prayer,

Somehow I know you're still there.

Send me please some peace of mind;

Take away this pain.

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait any longer.

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait for you.

Holy mother, hear my cry,

I've cursed your name a thousand times.

I've felt the anger running through my soul;

All I need is a hand to hold.

Oh I feel the end has come,

No longer my legs will run.

You know I would rather be

In your arms tonight.

When my hands no longer play,

My voice is still, I fade away.

Holy mother, then I'll be

Lying in, safe within your arms.
