Well I went to the river 'cause the river wouldn't bend to me And saw my reflection but I hated what I seen
The water stood up and she filled my lungs
Spill like the poison from my blackened song
So I love you mother like a newborn son Wendy do run run, da do run run
And you carry my heart though it weighs a ton Wendy do run run, da do run run
Well I went to the city cause the city didn't know my name Still I saw my reflection and I hated what I seen
The sun came up almost every night
Had a line and a number and a pocket knife
They took my daughters and replaced my wife So I ran to the river but she turned to ice
Well I love you mother like a newborn son Wendy do run run, da do run run
And you carry my heart though it weighs a ton Wendy do run run, da do run run
Yes I love you mother like a newborn son Wendy do run run, da do run run
And you carry my heart though it weighs a ton Wendy do run run, da do run run
Mother mother mother mine
